1 Weekly news

Conveners briefly update with news, comments and new directions from the Steering Committee (if any).

From the DAQ WG:

Please consider the following questions for each of the detectors that your group proposes to build.   This is the template for the detector input to the DAQ discussion at the August 27th convener working group meeting.

Presentations

This is time devoted to a longer discussion with a presentation of work done or to be done, if there is any and if there is the need for that.

14 AoB

In case there is any other business to discuss, we can take it here. If discussion takes longer than 5 minutes, it means that it needs a proper space and will be point for next week.
