Dear Doug, Uwe, Jan:
congratulations on standing the ground successfully. I share your concerns 
but also the confidence that we will make further progress in the coming 
weeks.

Best regards
   Michael

They were also concerned about the difference in luminosity determinations for electrons and positrons.  They also recommended more manpower and/or participation from the other OLYMPUS groups.

I am certain these will be successfully addressed in the coming weeks.  As for the question of manpower there is not very much we can do at present with the funding limitations, visa problems between USA and Russia, and other obligations.  Also bringing in new people at this late stage in the analysis would not be efficient.  We are making good progress and hopefully this will be abundantly evident at our next meetings.
