Please send additions or corrections to the whole mail list.1.

1. News. Stepan asked Bob if HPS was fully approved for its 180 days of beamtime, and didn't get a clear answer. Bob did indicate that HPS is approved for the 2014 and 2015 running requested in the proposal, but is awaiting further developments with Alan Stone at SLAC.

2. New members. Massimo Carpinelli has assembled a new team at INFN to join HPS and help with the Ecal and other tasks. Joh requested that members individually apply for membership, as called out in our Bylaws. So far, the following have applied:
Massimo Carpinelli and Valeria Sipala (U. Sassari and INFN) Nuncio Randazzo, Sebastiano Aiello, Marzio De Napoli (INFN Catania) Still to come:
Emanuele Leonora, Carlo Ventura (INFN Catania) Gabriele Simi (U Padova and INFN)

John indicated to each that election for membership would be at the next collaboration meeting. On reflection, and especially since many of these people will soon be working on HPS, he proposed that we instead hold a special election once EC has approved all the applicants. John will convey this to Massimo, and request the remaining people apply; then EC will be asked to approve all the new members and we will conduct an email election.

3. Response to DOE. Tim explained that "Recommendations" from our reviewers are to be followed, not discussed; "Comments" may be adopted or not, and may elicit further commentss or corrections. We are presently putting together a response to the recent review, and will abide by these rules.

4. The recent review "recommended" that we appoint a technical coordinator, for formal liaison between HPS and Hall B. Volker Burkert proposed Stepan for the position. The EC agreed, and John has replied with this news to Volker.

5. Marco reviewed slides, attached above and on confluence, regarding the creation of a "Technical Board", essentially a redefinition of our working groups plus project management team. One new group is created, SVT DAQ with Ryan Herbst as leader. The other groups parallel the present working groups. He also explained his plan for monthly meetings and provided a technical board charge. The first job, once we have indication of approval and budget, will be to revisit and agree upon schedule and budget baselines for each of the subsystems. EC agreed with his proposals.
