1. UK Funding PPRP Meeting on Monday 30 th June Accepted need for urgent work this year –no discussion on this –but also no indication of the level of funds Focused questioning on a £12.5 M Scenario –We tried to justify that £12.5M wasn’t enough –They also tried to make us give a priority – Coils vs Tracker –Inform the PPARC view of OST bid –CCLRC is outside of / additional to this Meeting next Monday – JPB – Peach & Wade & Taylor –try to persuade them to maintain a broad activity

2. Some Small Progress…. KP has released hall for MICE clear out Cranes are being upgraded Consulting with …. –CMS detector group –RPA & Safety Advisor.…SHE (group) –Electrical Installations people… –Mechanical Services … –Home for MuScat kit…. Significant job of its own

3. RF Progress Meeting at CERN General agreement over schemes Hopeful that a significant part of the high power RF (Power & Driver amps) can be obtained from CERN/Los Alamos & Berkeley. Investigating to reach firm proposal Subject for next VC

4. Astbury Project Management Methodology The RAL management, working together with the MICE collaboration, needs to develop a full work breakdown structure (WBS) or its equivalent. Such a document should enumerate all the required tasks, down at least to level 4, cost estimate each task as well as its basis, and establish a resource loaded schedule. Such a document is indispensable to assure that the costs and schedule are complete and reasonable, that no essential tasks have been left out and that the responsibility for each part of the project is clearly defined. It will also facilitate identification of important integration issues.
