  2.

  3. ICFA/ILCSC • ILC Post-TDR organization, 2013 • Consortium of existing laboratories versus dedicated organization with an independent budget line? • Movement toward LC, i.e. relation with CLIC? • Working group set-up: European input via ECFA chair • ICFA seminar at CERN, 3-6 October 2011 • RECFA members should provide people to be invited: government, funding agencies, scientific community • Session conveners appointed: SM and beyond, HEP and Dark matter&Dark energy, Fundamental asymmetries, QCD, QGO, Heavy flavour, Neutrinos, Accelerators, …

  4. ICFA/ILCSC • ICFA Guideline #5: using national facilities • Now: “Operating laboratories should not require experimental groups to contribute to the running costs of the accelerators or colliding beam machines nor to the operating costs of their associated experimental areas” • New: "Operating laboratories should not require experimental groups to contribute to the running costs of the accelerators or colliding beam machines nor to the operating costs of their associated experimental areas. However, in particular for a large global facility, allocation of operating costs should be agreed by the project partners before project approval, while still allowing open access for experimental groups."

  5. ICFA/ILCSC • ICFA Brochure for HEP global opportunities • Pier Oddone Joachim Mnich, Sachio Komamiya and members of InterAction • Global picture on HEP opportunities • Audience includes government official and funding agencies • Draft to be approved during the next ICFA meeting
