Hello fellow planners--we had an excellent meeting last night
and we all have our assignments!  Next meeting Friday Feb. 4 1700 EST.

We stepped thru the version of the plan that is on the web.

1. Abstract--we now have one.
2. Authors--the spinplan names will be the authors, with any additions
of people who have worked on it that I may not know about (you should
email me with their names).  The Acknowledgements will have a sentence
to the effect that the plan is based on the work of many over many
years, including acc., theory, expt, and our colleages on Star, Phenix,
Brahms and pp2pp.
3. The executive summary is now the one Tom Kirk edited.  I will discuss
with Tom Ludlam and Satoshi on what they want.
4. Science section introduction is beautiful.  Happy with 2.1 (pol DIS),
2.2 (compelling questions), 2.3 (unpol. pp).  Note that we now have
subprocess decompositions for all cross sections shown.  We will change
the direct photon to be isolated with the subprocess fractions for this
(gq is then about 90%).  (Phenix has presented both.)
5. 2.4 introduction has been changed some with a new Table 1 showing
Feynman graphs.  I think it is in good shape.
6. 2.4.1 (mapping helicity preferences) needs work and Werner and I will
try editing this.  We decided last night to only show sensitivities
based on the full integrated luminosity (x.7) and P=.7, with no
intermediate plots (like fig. 9 with L=7 pb^-1 for A_LL(jet)).
We are using GRSV as the ranges, as we discussed a week ago.  A strange
looking cusp in Fig. 8,9, etc. comes from the lower bound being set by
two different assumptions.  Werner will add a dashed line to figure with
a sentence to the caption to indicate this.  We will generally show
Delta g/g and not xDelta g, and add a plot for xDelta g to make the
point about contribution to the integral.  We will show the Dg/g plot
only once.  For systematic errors for pi and jet we decided to use 10^-3
for R (=L++/L+-).
7. We decided to base statistics on running 200 GeV thru mid-2009 (5 weeks
200, 5 weeks 500 in 2009).  Wolfram will give us max. L for this, and
we will then use max.x.7 delivered L.
8. gamma plots will be shown to 15 GeV for 200 and to 30 GeV p_T for
500, to emphasize the lower p_T region (they start at 5 GeV)
9. we will add forward A_LL(pi) and correlation plot eta==>x
10. Naohito is preparing a Delta g/g plot for pi/jet/photon (I believe)
that will also have SMC measurement and Compass sensitivity.  This (once
we all see it and agree with it!) will be the final plot for the gluon
section and go into the executive summmary.
11. W draft will be ready Thursday morning.
12. 2.5 (transverse spin) only came out just before the meeting so we
didn't discuss it.  The version on the web should have the part from p27
last paragraph thru the bullet on p29 crossed out--that is the old
version.  We will use the 200 GeV running only for transverse section
and use L=.25 x L delivered.  (For longitudinal, L=.75 x L delivered.)
13. 2.6 (what else is going on) We still need 3 paragraphs for this--
Compass, Hermes, Jlab.  Physics is included in plots of previous 
sections.  No plots.  Abhay will come up with a draft.
14. Elastics is changed some.  Fig. 21 will have 2 panels--carbon and p.
15. 2.8 (Beyond SM) has changed, still some checking to do.
16. 2.9 (eRHIC) Revisit and edit.
17. 3. (Accel.) Fig. 23 will show 5 wks 200, 5 wks 500 in 2009. Targets
will be shown, min. will be continued to cross target line.  Fig. 25
will be replaced with measured jet pol.
18. New Phenix section.  I am happy with its level of discussion and
coverage.  Some edits but fine. (p49 should be crossed out)  Nosecone
section too long.
19. Steve will have the STAR section (5.2) Thursday.
20. 5.3 (other expts)--Some editing for pp2pp, no fig. 35, Sandro gave
me a paragraph for jet expts.  I will write a paragraph for new detector
and send it to John/Thomas.
21. 6 (schedule)--some edits, would still like to do table on getting
from delivered L to L used for plots.  We will see if I get the time!
Tables 5, 6 to be completed.

We plan to have our next telephone meeting Friday, 1700 EST.

Goal--get draft to BNL management and experiments before weekend, 
request feedback early next week.  We will see.
