2. TIPP proceedings which are due Sep. 15, 2011. These papers will be peer reviewed once received and published in an online NIM journal. Paper Submission Details for TIPP 2011: http://ees.elsevier.com/tipp11/ Link is the TIPP 2011 paper submission and editorial online system for Physics Procedia from Elsevier. Please note the following: The deadline for paper submission is Sept. 15th, 2011. All papers will be peer reviewed soon after submission and have to be ready for publication by Jan 2012 in order to meet the deadline for publication (contract with Elsevier). So it is very important to submit the paper by Sept. 15th, 2011. With the record number of presentations and posters at TIPP 2011, this proceeding is expected to cover a wide range of the most current and forefront Technology and Instrumentation Research in Particle Physics worldwide. As such, your paper submission is greatly encouraged. To submit papers, the authors need to register to the TIPP EES system even if they have already registered before to the standard Elsevier EES system and already have an account. This is because the publisher has created a modified version of Elsevier Editorial System (EES) specifically for TIPP 2011 (which is standalone). Instructions for authors are attached at the end of this email. The length limit of the papers is: – 10 pages for plenary talks and overview parallel talks (30 mins), – 8 pages for standard parallel talks, – 6 pages for posters. – The conveners of each session will be assigned as editors for the papers for that session. – A local assistant editor team has been formed at Fermilab to help the conveners/editors.

3. TIPP Paper GP Schedule and Suggestions LAPPD TIPP Paper Submission Suggestions: - GP Chair - schedule a meeting (in person or telecon) of GP’s and Paper Writer to discuss paper, schedule. -Act as lead in collecting comments from GPs and coordinating with Paper Writer. -Chairperson also acts as the liaison between the committee, the paper writer and the collaboration. LAPPD TIPP Paper Submission Schedule: Paper Writer should provide GPs with a preliminary draft of their paper asap and a link to their TIPP talk. Today: All paper writers to give a status report on their papers. Thursday, Aug 25: Paper writers should provide godparents with a preliminary version of their paper. The preliminary version should at a minimum include a detailed outline with all section titles and a list figures that will be included. Monday, Aug 29: Godparents provide comments (on the preliminary version). Tuesday, Aug 30: Paper writers give a status update (including godparent comments) at weekly meeting. Thursday, Sep 1: Final versions of papers are due to the godparent committee. Monday, Sep 5: Comments from the godparents on the final version.
