Attending: Aidan, Amanda, Andy, Austin, Chris D, Chris P, Dan, Dwayne, Jim, Lucas, Marty (Apologies: Christian W)

Minutes:

• Marty: it looks like MEXT wants commitments before they would commit; however EU countries would not commit before a Japanese commitment to the pre-lab  
• Jim gave an update on his ECal MAPS simulations: resolution studies cont'd; cluster shape studies; reticle size. Still to improve clustering algorithm. Numerous suggestions & discussions.
• Andy: communicated with CALICE and is looking into the parameters
• Aidan: IDT physics group meeting tomorrow (2:00pm UK) might be of interest, see https://agenda.linearcollider.org/event/9218/
