  4. Resolution on the readiness for signing the founding documents of the 16th FAIR International Steering Committee Meeting, held on 14th May, 2008 in Darmstadt, Germany Considering the state of completion of the founding documents (the Convention with its five Annexes and the Final Act), ready for signature and subsequent formation of the FAIR GmbH, the FAIR ISC would like to express its appreciation of the achieved progress. Based on the above, the FAIR ISC recommends now the second half of September 2008 for the Conference of the Delegates of the Governments of the participating Countries and asks the German Delegation to suggest a date. It is expected that a significant number of the signatories of the FAIR Memorandum of Understanding will be ready to sign the founding documents at the above date. The prospective Contracting Parties are invited to confirm their contribution to the construction costs and to designate as soon as possible their Shareholders in order to establish the FAIR GmbH.

  5. Change of Convention approved at 17th FAIR-ISC meeting 6. Financial issues: Proposal concerning cash contributions Resolution: Article 6 paragraph 2 of the convention is modified to the following wording: "At the time of signing this Convention, the Contracting Parties shall ensure that the Shareholders contribute to construction costsin principle in-kind and in cash,the following amounts (all amounts referring to 2005 prices):" ... (instead: "in cash and/or in-kind")  opposed by India and China But negotiations with Russian Ministries regarding some formulations in the Articles of Association of FAIR GmbH are not yet completed.  Conference of the Delegates of the Governments of the participating Countries planned for November 2008 now.

Wenninger to suggest a procedure for including of WPs of full version Minutes 17th meeting: ISC agreed to go on with the collection of EoIs and to start prototype production of in-kind contributions to Phase B of the FAIR project.

  9. 6. Financial issues: Proposal concerning cash contributions • Proposal for resolution: • The FAIR ISC would like to confirm the following interpretation of the term "2005 prices": • in the case of in-kind contribution it means that the amount to be taken into account when accepting a Shareholder's contribution to the construction costs, associated with an item to be delivered under the contract with the Shareholder, shall be based on the year 2005 price of such item as established in the latest version of the cost book. Any price variations are the joint risk of the Shareholder and the contracting party, subject to the conditions specified in the Annex 5 to the Convention. • in the case of cash contribution it means that the amount to be taken into account when accepting a Shareholder's contribution to the construction costs shall be subject to indexation with reference to the year 2005, using the annual EU inflation index for industrial manufactured goods (EUROSTAT).  resolution prepared for ISC meeting on September 3, 2008

  10. The FAIR Costbook 5.0 939945 244266 CB5: only new structure compared to CB4 – all costs in 2005 prices

  11. 12. Procedure for Start / Full version of FAIR facility: Proposal by STI (H. Wenninger) and 13. In-kind contributions: Information and further procedure(H. Wenninger) Resolution: ISC mandates STI ad interim to set-up the evaluation procedure for Technical Design Reports submitted by Experiment Collaborations with the appointment of referees for each TDR. This will allow the future Scientific Council to submit in due time well documented TDRs to the FAIR Council for final approval. ISC encourages the creation of „ pre-consortia/collaborations“ on the dedicated FAIR accelerators in-kind work-packages. This will allow the future In-kind Review Board to be ready in due time to submit well documented In-kind work package proposals to the FAIR Council for approval. ISC took note of the Costbook 5.0 on Accelerators and associated manpower for the Start Version and Phase B as a reference for further negotiations. ISC asks to make Costbook 5 available to the delegates of ISC, STI and IKAB. ISC took note of the Technical Design Reports on the dedicated FAIR accelerators and mandates the STI Chairman, Horst Wenninger, and the LHC project leader Dr. Lyn Evans (CERN) to form a FAIR Machine Advisory Committee (MAC) to review the accelerator TDRs and to follow up the project realization. ISC asks to be presented with a list of names of potential candidates for the MAC.
