* --====================================================================--*

               Brief Summary:

  0) Attendency: Bernd, Bill, Jerome, Flemming, Nu, Bedanga, Olga, Helen.

  1) WAH activities: (i) TPC supporting structures worked! (ii) ShowerMAx fues are changed/tested.

  2) MOU task force: nothing happened since last Friday. Will start the process this week, - Nu

  3) Run8 data process, h+/h- differences: before run8, charged hadrons are averaged, h=(h+ + h-)/2; Waiting for run9 preliminary results (in two weeks); possible workshop focused on the issues; precising calibration procedure(s), automake the process;

 4) Conveners

 5) STC: a message to the management from Nu

 6) Olga - phi-meson issue: discuss next Thursday, needs a summary document

 7) Olga - shift sign up: training requirements, ... Shift sign up starts early Oct. for 20 weeks.
