      •  link to Mikael's slides from ILD meeting last Tuesday: https://agenda.linearcollider.org/event/10042/ 
          (Bryan's talk is not uploaded yet, but we had his talk in the FC@DESY meeting, of course) 
         
      • scope / goal of task force: 
           - over the next few months (~late summer?) come to some conclusion whether a more long-term study makes sense 
           - needs to be synchronized with accelerator part, need to understand what Beate & Wim plan to do (-> Benno) 
           - publish a paper on detector & physics 😄 
           - possibly define smaller work items for which we could look for students / postdocs etc 
         
      • action plan 
           - Juergen & Mikael bring together Krzysztof and Zhijie work on generator issues: 
                * check whether Whizard+Pythia8 works for asym. collisions 
                * test crossing-angle functionality 
                * test CIRCE interface 
           - Mikael checks whether SGV can be enabled to simulate asymmetric detectors with reasonable effort (trivial / doable with some effort / hopeless ?) 
           - Antoine starts (with Mikael's help) to run GuineaPig for luminosity spectra and backgrounds, for central HALHF parameters and some variations 
           - Karsten *might* look into forward magnet design / field maps (if sleepless at SLAC 😉 ) 
         
      • next meeting in ~two weeks 
            => Thursday 11 or 11:30 seems to work for most, but check with Frank
