Present: Stepan, Raphael, Takashi, Tim, Marco, Matt, John

We used the EC meeting this week to review outlines of the talks for the upcoming HPS Review. See confluence for the outlines.
Please send around additional comments if I haven't included them.

Brief summary of comments received:
1. Overview. Have a backup slide on muon system; mention INFN and Orsay with lab infrastructure; do not mention new APDs
Overview Outline for HPS review.ppt
2. Beamline. Stepan's travelling. Will send outline later.

3. SVT. Mention lab infrastructure support; give alignment and tracking details to Matt's talk; check how long it takes to deliver talk; include something on commissioning plans?

4. SVT DAQ. Need outline from Ryan/Pelle.

5. Ecal/Trigger. Include more details on trigger simulation, trigger strategy, trigger algorithm. Ecal vac chamber described in beamline talk. No mention of APDs. Do emphasize schedule, milestones, manpower, and lab infrastructure support. Talk-HPS-Review.pdf

6. Trigger/DAQ. Need outline from Sergey.

7. Software. Include slow control. Should subsystems mention significant slow control items? Include info on schedule, milestones, and manpower. Paint positive picture--list needs, but plan for how to meet needs.

8. Electron Running Readiness. Include clear graphics demonstrating that beam electrons dominate SVT occupancy and Ecal trigger rate limits.
Readiness for electron running.pptx
9. Reach and Run Plan. Include something on plans for alignment, B field, Kalman fitter. Show future reach possibilities, with 180 days, 11 GeV, pions+muons. Be ready with a backup muon physics motivation slide.

10. Schedule, Budget, manpower. Need to develop risk mitigation. How does HPS manage contributions from INFN and Orsay (deal with delays, manpower or money shortages, etc.?) Risk of CE exceeding 2M. No APDs.
