4. Development 2: International Si Tracking Consortium SiLC (Silicon Tracking for the Linear Collider) group formally recognized by DESY PRC Proposal available at http://lpnhe-lc.in2p3.fr/ (click `SiLC’, but 1 st write me for username and passwordhttp://lpnhe-lc.in2p3.fr/  Approved for 1-year `warm-up’ phase  Readdress PRC in October with more specific plans and goals

5.
