Comments: (EC comments in italics)

Do you need the EC help with things such as negotiations with the labs?

LL – Yes, such as KEK to buy more cavities, make priorities clear with labs.

In the present plan, is there production overlap?

LL – Yes, that is the point.

What do you see the TTC doing?

LL – Request information; discussion at KEK on the single cell program. Spell out the program.

MR – Hope institutes will sign up to do parts of the programs. Who is going to do these tasks, we are hoping people will sign up.

This is critical, bullet 4 – how are we going to manage it.
