Karl Slifer discussed his work with the QFS model and RC:
        Karl presented his work on the QFS model for GDH.  He modified the
    code to include external RC.  The QFS Born cross section has a strong
    Q² dependence.  The final error on the cross section is 5-10%, with about
    50% from the QFS simulation.  The collaboration suggested that Karl
    should look closer at the error from QFS.

        For the radiation length of the reference cell, Karl will assume the glass is
    Corning 1720.  Karl plans to work on the polarized QE cross sections.

    Seonho Choi discussed the second paper on structure functions:
          The paper will include g_1/g₂ integration and d_2.   For the plot of d₂,Seonho
    raised the question what is d₂ at Q² of zero,  since at present there is nothing
    to compare d₂ with at a low Q².   Zein-Eddine was considering only showing
    d₂ in the high Q² region.

        The collaboration thought it would be good to show all the data for d₂, but only
    discuss the high energy region.  The collaboration would like Zein-Eddine to send
    a draft out, so that the draft could be discussed.  There is also some urgency to
    get the paper out as soon as possible.

    Nilanga Liyanage discussed the third paper on twist expansions/duality:
        Nilanga showed a plot of resonance data from 94-010 vs Nuchman scaling
    variable.  g₁^3He should be plotted instead of g₁ⁿ.  For the next collaboration
    meeting, Nilanga will improve the figure, and form "partial" moments of g₁ using
    the delta and QE resonances.

     The collaboration discussed new experiments:
        Xiaodong Jiang, discussed a new proposal that will be presented at the next
    PAC.  The proposal will measure the transversity of the neutron.  The experiment
    will use Big Bite to detect electrons, and the HRS to detect charged pions.

        Gordon Cates discussed the preparations for Gen at high Q².  Much work
    remains to be done for a late summer 2004 run period.  It is hoped that Wolfgang
    will aid with the production of target ladders, and Guido Urciuoli may help with field
    calculations due to the presence of Big Bite next to the Helmholtz coils.  For the
    experiment, a larger pumping chamber will be used for the target cells, and the laser
    hut will not be used.

    JP Chen discussed conferences for 2003:
       JP suggested that members of the collaboration think about possible
    conferences to which they would like to go and to let him know of any
    conferences not included on the list.
