Production

- Dave: everything moved to Blue Crab (stringing table was moved there right after the meeting). We have there office with computers connected to network. Preparing for the PCB gluing. There was a problem with the lights there again. Bill regarding the stringing table: the pin rail was modified at the machine shop, ready together with the other parts to be mounted on the table at Blue Crab.

- We will have a readiness review in a month from now. Dave and Bill will work on the procedures/travelers/QA documents that are needed for the review. Beni will set up a page with the agenda, similar to that for the CDC review, where we will link all the documents. According to Eugene the review will be more technical than administrative.

Electronics

- The answer from Allflex regarding the first article inspection is linked above. Bill suggested using better (printing) paper for packing. Roger will contact Allflex to coordinate the rate of the production. They will have to re-adjust their equipment every time they switch to the production of our cathodes. Most likely we will not be able to inspect the foils with the same rate. Therefore we will do only partial inspection during the acceptance and 100% inspection later whenever possible before the use of the foils. We may use summer students for this inspection.
