all A Coordinating Committee  meeting September 21, 2006.
-----------------------------------------------------------

In attendance:  Tim Holmstrom (chair), John Arrington, 
		Xiaodong Jiang, Kent Paschke, Kees de Jager.



1)  Changes to the CC.
    a) Xiaochao Zheng has resigned her post on the CC, to avoid 
       conflict with the CC charter after both Xiaochao and Kent 
       took positions at the same university.  
    b) Xiaodong Jiang was welcomed to the CC to serve the remainder 
       of Xiaochao's term which will end at the next election.   
    c) Kent has assumed duties of the CC secretary.	 

2) Discussion of plans for the next Hall A collaboration meeting 
and an associated analysis workshop.

    a) Dates were selected.
         Hall A Collaboration Meeting: Th-F January 4-5
	 Analysis workshop:		Sat January 6.

    b) Xiaodong and Ole Hansen will coordinate the 
       analysis workshop

    c) A set of special talks was proposed to review the 
       primary physics topics addressed by the Hall A program:
       The identified topics:
         - Spin physics
	 - DVCS
	 - Nucleon and nuclear form-factors.
       Possible speakers were proposed and discussed.
       Electroweak studies were not included, given the
       proximity of the Moller/Disparity workshops in mid-December.


    d) Kent will develop a draft agenda for the meeting for
       review by the rest of the CC

3) Proposal Review:  The next PAC is expected to convene
   in February, placing the submission deadline sometime 
   between mid-December and mid-January.

   a) When the PAC submission deadline is announced, a  
      deadline for Hall A review of proposals will
      be chosen to allow 3 weeks for the Hall A review
      procedure, not counting the dates from Dec 24-Jan 1.
  
   b) Tim will coordinate the review, sending out 
      a request for reviewers and reminder for proposal
      submission in early to mid-November.

   ** Note: the PAC dates have been announced for Jan29-Feb1,
      so PAC submission will be mid-December and Hall A review
      deadline will be late November.

4) Annual Report.  Deadlines and organization were discussed.

   a) John will organize the editing process; Kees and 
      Xiaodong will assist.

   b) October 31 was selected as the submission deadline
      for contributions to the annual report.

   c) Tim will send out messages to notify collaboration members.

5) Hall A collaboration charter.  John notes that the charter
   contains a large number of rules which might reasonably
   be simplified or streamlined (esp. concerning publications).
   The CC agrees to collectively review the charter with
   an eye to amending the charter for a simplified
   set of rules which may be more easily followed.

6) The formation of a new Analysis Working Group was suggested.  
   It was agreed that this idea should be discussed at the 
   Hall A collaboration meeting and associated workshop in 
   January.
