3. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 3 EGDE developments My “advisory committee” has now been formed: R. Aleksan, T. Akesson, R. Aymar (tbc), S. Bertolucci, P. Burrows, R. Eichler, E. Elsen, D. Espriu, M. Poole, A. Skrinsky, A. Wagner, G. Wormser, J. Zinn-Justin. Today is sort of the first meeting - normally it will not be held at same time as EGDE meetings.

4. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 4 GDE developments US costings engineer has now been appointed: Peter Garbincius of Fermilab. Configuration control coordination: Euan Patterson (SLAC) Global R&D coordination, both detector and accelerator: B. Willis is on fact-finding tour.

8. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 8 Brussels meeting Last month E. Elsen & I visited the Commission in Brussels to discuss ILC status and future plans. We met S. Fontana & H. Perot. Wide-ranging discussion. Llot of emphasis placed on educating European public on benefits of financing ILC. Clearly Perot et al concerned by likely reduction in resources available for FP7.

9. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 9 Brussels meeting They were keen to build the ILC in Slovenia. The point is to access EU structural funds to supplement FP7. Perhaps Poland, or German regions qualifying for structural funds would be more realistic possibility. Keen to help with translation costs and to pay up to 50% of cost of ILC preparatory stage. ESFRI report @ end 2006 basis of FP7 on big facilities. ILC FP7 should concentrate on serious prototyping. Need something written for ESFRI by Feb. 2006.

10. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 10 Future meetings There will be a teleconference later this week called by the ECFA chair to discuss how best to organise a coherent pp input to the commission for projects that need FP7 funding. Our strategy of coherent input steered by ECFA was successful in FP6. We should try as hard as possible to agree a similar strategy for FP7. Such a strategy must recognise the position of ILC as the first priority new project for pp.

11. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 11 Future meetings The Frascati meeting December 7 - 9 will follow the TTC meeting and will begin with a plenary session in which the status of the BCD will be described and the remaining issues that need to be settled in Frascati will be highlighted. The aim is to leave the plenary presentation on Friday evening with an essentially complete BCD that can be documented by the end of the year or very early in 2006.

12. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 12 Future meetings 3rd European Conference on Research Infrastructures will be held in Nottingham, UK 6-7 December 2005. Presentations from R. Orbach (DOE) and M. Nemoto (MEXT) and others. Commissioner Potocnik will attend. ESFRI is well represented. Unfortunate clash with TTF @ Frascati. Plan is for E. Elsen to contribute to the parallel session “Towards large international infrastructures.” BF hopes to attend. We should invite Paisini to Plenary GDE.

13. Brian Foster - 9th ICATPP 13 Summary The GDE is formed and functioning. Missing positions such as the US costing engineer, someone to overview R&D etc will be filled imminently. The Baseline design for the ILC is well under way. Lots of real work is going on as well as the necessary organisation. EU is supportive & encouraging - we need to approach them with timely & coherent proposals. We still have some time to sort this out.
