Dear Doug,
Could you please clarify what do you mean by subdivision:
" For the analysis phase of the experiment the important coordinators 
will be: analysis, luminosity, and physics"
As I understand the analysis must be performed by all interested in the 
analysis members of the Collaboration  the luminosity analysis being  a 
part of the whole analysis including MC simulation, digitization,etc,
For me analysis+luminosity+physics= analysis + release of the  results 
+paper drafting.
So there might be either one analysis coordinator or (better)
an analysis coordinator and a physics coordinator.
I hope that all agree that the physic outcome  must be released under 
consensus of the whole collaboration (author list) with the requirement 
of independent cross check fulfilled.Only released results may be 
presented at conferences and  published.
I try to clarify these issues  in advance  in order to safe quite 
limited discussion time at the Meeting.
With best regards StanB

The existing organisation ( spokesman - Michael, deputy - Alexander, project manager - Uwe, and technical coordinator - me ) will stay in place until the hardware work (optical survey, field mapping, and disassembly) is completed.  Thus the current organisation will stay on until sometime in April.

Alexander of course has been instrumental in getting the experiment to work and the successful data runs are largely thanks to his hard work.  I am sure we all wish him every success in his new career.

Now we would like to hold elections for the positions of spokesman and deputy spokesman to guide us through the analysis phase of the experiment.  These elections will be held during the collaboration meeting next week.

I propose to do this via E-mail and will ask Alexander Winnebeck (winnebec at mit.edu), as his last duty as deputy spokesman, to collect and report on the results.  We will expect E-mail votes not later than 28 February, 2013 from:

   For the analysis phase of the experiment the important coordinators 
will be: analysis, luminosity, and physics.  In addition there will 
likely be coordinators for each detector system responsible for the 
analysis of their detector system.
