6. What do you do with 145 ideas?
Next 3—4 weeks: Task Forces evaluate proposals for importance, scientific risk, compatibility with machine constraints, etc. to define priorities
Consider that priorities are subject to change based on performance levels of systems (cryopump, LH, etc.)
Task forces should review and discuss:
New ideas presented here
Ideas presented at previous Fora
Existing mini-proposals
Task force leaders will call open meetings for discussions
Videoconferencing should be available
Ideas Forum list can be used for announcing these meetings (all current participants have been added)
Jan—Feb: High priority proposals are expanded into mini-proposals.
Current and new MPs will drive schedule during the upcoming 15 physics run weeks (60 run days)
Combination and compromise generally needed to optimize machine usage
