>1. Nick Walker on the Baseline Configuration Document (BCD) > >Nick expressed his personal view on how the BCD could take shape. It is >requested by the GDE for end of 2005 as first milestone on the way to a >CDR, due by end 2006. The CDR will have to be of a form comparable to >the TESLA TDR or the US options study. Thus, the BCD should contain >basic ILC concepts and parameters such that the specified performance >goals are met with certitude, and that they can serve as basis for a >cost estimate. In practice, the latter point will limit how "forward >looking" the BCD can be. >The configuration will not be "frozen" but serve as focus for >the work up towards the CDR, while alternatives are still >being supported. The BCD should not be a thick report but a >web based document collection. >While there is consensus on this conception and timeline, the >level of detail for the BCD is still contentiuous. Several >decisons on site-dependent issues (tunnel length, crossing >angles) need to be taken, see slides for more examples. The >need for a not too cmplicated electronics document management >system was emphasized. > >2. Eckhard Elsen on the Snowmass agenda > >The agenda is generally quite packed, in particlular in week >1, but the global groups have foreseen room for discussion, >hoping this mays serve as subsitutue for the too small number >of jount session. > >3.
