Work on Priority 1 has gotten off to a good start with the creation of tutorials, we will follow up in early March.

Work on Priority 2 has also progressed with a discussion at the joint meeting with S&C and prioritization of the particle flow task for jet reconstruction.  (There's a call for additional volunteers to assist Derek with this task, please jump in!)

In the discussion of Priority 5 (validation scheme) we had a discussion on small author papers and will need to seek some clarification.  The issue is that preliminary results can't be published in small author papers with ePIC members, though our focus in the near term is on simulation results.  This can likely be resolved, the specific policies will be discussed shortly.  More importantly, we agreed that each PWG will discuss and release an agreed upon validation scheme for releasing the results and make it public on the wiki and web-page.

In the discussion of the ESPPU paper most people felt the paper was well written.  All conveners are asked to make changes by the end of the month or send a mail saying things are good so we can send it to collaboration review.

We did want to update figure 1, Rosi will follow up with Elke, and pass the information to Tyler for update.

We wondered about European input as this is a European process and most of us are US based. (It's CERN specific, so keeping the large fraction of ALICE language makes sense.)

For the early science workshop, we agreed that the table needs to move forward so it can go on professionally.  We need to push now for early science simulation, Sal and Rosi will bring this up at the next AC/SCC meeting (this Thursday) and it may be good to also discuss in the next joint meeting.

Kong: noted we need to identify someone who can run all the data sets for our discussion with S&C.  Kong is happy to help this person set up to run the data for the simulation, but can not be the point person on this.  We had some discussion over why BeAgle could be better than Pythia.

Stephen: Noted that the afterburner doesn't have all the settings for the early science program or for eAu or eRu.  We agreed to follow up with Alex.

It was noted that some miscommunication for the DVCS campaign created samples that weren't usable (found by Oliver) but a pull request was made to hopefully fix this. It indicates the importance of running over the data. 

Everyone who spoke up preferred the later dates (April 21 - 30 instead of April 1 - 6) for the workshop.  We decided that it should span 2 days if hybrid so that we can schedule it such that people outside of the east coast time zone can participate, which is hard to do if it is one crammed day.

Group updates can be seen in slides, most groups had one meeting since Frascatti and worked on developing tutorials for priority 1.  (Exclusive verbal update is contained within early science notes).
