Open items to discuss.;
1) GW program - As you may have heard, there will be an additional staff meeting to discuss this topic and the impact of the ET on Nikhef. I would propose that we, as WAR, prepare a list of questions for Stan to answer during this meeting such that he can prepare and we can get a real answer. Think about questions such as "What happens to the other programs at Nikhef if ET gets built here in NL?" As well as "What happens to the people hired on ET if it does not get built here in NL?"
2) Our vista opinion - For the staff meeting where the strategy is discussed one more time I think it would be useful if we prepare a presentation with our comments on the document, as well as some extra opinions on strategy that might not be relevant for the document but do have something to do with the strategy.
3) the WAR procedure - We should discuss if we want to adjust our mandate to include the organisation of the annual 'away-day meeting' where all new ideas can be presented and that we can then make a report for our Nikhef management where we can also say something about how we compare (or even rank) the different suggestions made, since we indicated in our first meeting that it's a shame we don't get that option.
