- Wire frames (Bill): all wire frames inspected, we have 30 ready to go (out of 32), one is a little off the specifications, and another one way off. 16 Cathode frames are ready; important is to check the depth of the o-ring groove.

- New schedule: we discussed the feasibility of the full tests of the packages scheduled to start at the beginning of 2012. For that we will need enough electronics to equip one full package: 12 F1TDCs, 36 fADCs, 24 anode and 108 cathode cards. According to Fernando we will have the cards and the fADCs by June 2012 and the F1TDCs by Sep 2012. Eugene looked at the last schedule for the electronics and concluded that actually we will have a good fraction of the electronics already at the beginning of 2012

A delay is expected with the F1TDCs and we discussed options to replace those with other types of TDCs 
- All wire frames laminated with Rohacell. Most of them are fly cut and stored in our machine shop; we decided to move them to 126 to make sure they are not exposed to high humidity. Four cathode frames are ready, but Vision Machine had problems with the milling machine and the production will be delayed (this will not affect the production at all). The next step is to glue and laminate the PCBs.

- As requested by Eugene we have updated the FDC production budget linked above; it is needed urgently for the change request. Everybody is encouraged to look at it and make corrections if needed asap.
