1) Bogdan - Results from DOE review. Positive. SBS can be used for experiment not anticipated before. 

2) Bogdan - Discussion: Detector electronics responsibilities. Need careful design of timings. 
            Everisto gave detailed description of GEM detector timing and started designing DAQ. 
            Need detector schematics so Alex can design the readout. How narrow is the signal from NINO 
            cards. John Annand: it is time from threshold plus 10 ns. Long cables should not be used due 
            to signal attenuation. Andrew asked what is the minimum threshold that can be applied on NINO card. 
            John Annand answered that around couple of mVolts. How long is the timing response of the HCal. 
            Gregg said it can be estimated from simulation if the cable lengths are available.
