     Experiencing differene in dE/dx, more studying /discussions on going.

     Shift sign-up for Run12: Nu call Gary. Jerome side is ready.

     Period Coordinators for Run12: Nu and Renee

 3) Future Meetings:  Analysis meeting will be at BNL in mid-April // Collaboration meeting will be in BNL, in the week of Aug. 5th.

 4) Fix-target AuAu collisions at RHIC: Priority is given on current BES results and perhaps a new 15 GeV AuAu collisions. If only needs

     a short time and beams are available, may have a test on 5 GeV collider mode collisions. Bedanga prepares a message.

 5) Authorship: opt-out one-by-pne is prefered. Opt-in required approval by the management, not encouraged. Jerome prepares

    a summary.
