Objectives 1. Provide a forum in advance of the Chicago meeting to identify existing and new directions in neutrino physics. 2. Place the US plans in the international context. 3. Identify problems and issues for the field. 4. Begin preparation of a white paper to serve as a basis for discussion at Chicago and beyond.

Excerpts from the charge Scope of NP. Challenges. Progress. Impact. What to do? What will it cost? What to build?
Excerpts from the charge Bad times now, better times ahead? Do the 2002 LRP: 12 GeV, RIAINO, DUSEL
Excerpts from the charge International and Interagency coordination… Synergies with other disciplines…
Excerpts from the charge Societal impact, education, outreach, applications, security… Diversity, competitiveness…
Excerpts from the charge Re-examine the metrics (separate report)
Excerpts from the charge Town Meetings, role of APS and ACS…
Excerpts from the charge Hurry up…
Some problems • Constrained funding: the FY06 disaster • Neutrino physics about 3% of the DOE + NSF program • How to decide what nuclear physics can/should own • Dark matter • Role of a DUSEL • Competing globally
The process in Santa Fe • Groups I and IV in parallel, then Groups II and III. Convenors begin with a summary of the subfield and abstracts. There should be time for discussion around the slides shown by submitters. • Rapporteurs summarize the subfields in 4 plenary talks this afternoon. + U/G lab. • Sunday: Building a bulleted list of the accomplishments, next steps, needs, problems.
