Dear Lars et all,

I have booked room L102-104 from 9.00 - 20.00 for wednesday, this room has
also video capabilities, so if somebody wants to join from the outside no
problem. As I pointed out already I also think the time from 1.00 to
18.00 is not long
enough to cover all the topics, I even think 2030 minutes per topic is not
long enough. I personnaly would like to discuss in detail the schedules
and manpower needed and working on different items, because we run into
problems with our schedule, which is not yet a problem  but will be one
next year as all the variance reports will go to DOE.

Cheers and looking forward to see you all next week
elke

p.s. can you send me please ones more the really final agenda, because I
got confused which on is the real one.
