3. Findings, Comments and Recommendations I
Based on my notes (do not yet have committee documents)
Others who took notes can comment as well
Specifically Noted:
Significant progress on MICE construction and RF in B-field
The elements of our research program are approved
MASS and IBS are examples of the MAP reorganization and development of a strategic plan
MAP management is encouraged to leverage the newly expanded Institutional Board

4. Findings, Comments and Recommendations II
Last 2 years of effort have produced a rational plan for the Feasibility Assessment
Management changes in MICE program have strengthened the effort
MAP Program Management Plan (PMP) and Program Execution Plan (PEP) are reasonable
MAP has presented a prioritized list of feasibility items to focus on
Presented a long-term vision for how the Fermilab campus could be built out with physics at each stage
MASS has provided critical focus
Congratulated on MICE Spectrometer Solenoid Progress
Prior recommendations (from August 2012 Review)
16 adequately addressed
5 to be addressed as part of the IBS process

5. Findings, Comments and Recommendations III
MASS process endorsed (and encouraged)
MAP is encouraged to develop a path to demonstrating 6D cooling with beam
[Missed a comment here on the staged NF]
More US agency support of the MICE program at NSF is critical
Systems Engineer is needed for program-wide support
Realistic and integrated US and UK MICE schedule is a major accomplishment.
The Partial Return Yoke magnetic shielding effort was carried out as a unified team.
MAP should continue to improve the presentation of its integrated plan
The laboratory should more clearly present how MAP aligns with the Fermilab plan
MAP should create an Assumptions Document
MAP should maintain regular meetings with its Institutional Board (in particular to help leverage key program efforts)

6. Findings, Comments and Recommendations IV
Engage a systems engineer by the end of FY14
Present an Assumptions Document by July 31, 2014
ie, what assumptions are inherent in the MAP plan for institutional and funding agency support
Develop and maintain a cryogenic heat load inventory by July 31, 2014
