Present: FX, Takashi, Stepan, John, Tim

Please send additions and corrections to the whole EC.

1. News?
Stepan discussed the evolution of the Jlab schedule. See his slides above.
Looks like time early for a "2014" run is late calendar 2014, and most likely Spring 2015 or later.
It will depend on the re-baselining of the CEBAF12 which occurs in November.

Later he mentioned that the magnet schedules for Hall B are slipping. The solenoid probably won't be ready until 2015; the torroid may even be later. So 2015 may be available for running, and 2016 and beyond rather unavailable due to CLAS12 construction, and attempts to catch up on running time.

2. Strategy with Lab for next HPS runs
John shared some ideas about our next priorities. See his slides above.

Top priority is getting 6 weeks for the "2014" Run and the resources to carry it off. Next is to figure out, given the likely Jlab schedule, if we try to upgrade the Test Run HPS or move to the Full HPS.

3. What work is needed on Test Run Apparatus to prepare for 2014? Due before July 31 meeting.
Stepan and John will compare the possible sites for the "2014" run: present, alcove, and Hall A.
Stepan will quantify resources needed at Jlab and from DOE for the 2014 run.
Tim and John will do the same exercise at SLAC.
We'll push for improved trigger rate results and tracking performance studies.
Takashi will continue exploring the different capabilities in full and test run HPS, to help educate choosing full vs upgrade.

4. Stepan and John will outline the presentation planned for the July 31 meeting at the next HPS meeting.
