 +===== Action Items =====
 +  * Workshops
 +    * Raphael/Shaul to finalize Foreground Workshop dates, location, program
 +    * Shaul to relay discussion of science workshop to Devlin/Jones. Converge on dates, location. 
 +  * Simulations
 +    * Shaul to provide a set of frequencies from those currently available at LBNL; provide noise levels based on EPIC-IM (next week)
 +    * Lloyd, Julian provide more details for staging of challenge (two weeks)

 * Include systematics? JB argues against it. FG modeling is a huge constraint on all of the experiments. This is a community activity. Doesn't mix well with more specific instrument topic of systematics. \\ * Include systematics? JB argues against it. FG modeling is a huge constraint on all of the experiments.

 +* BC and SH to be in touch to discuss systematics workshop, and whether it is added on to fg workshop, or separate\\ 
 +* If there are issues of space in San Diego, JB says LBL is an option.

 +Science and Complementarity Workshop\\
 +* When: SH says some time between March 2018 and June 2018\\
 +*AK says a major goal is to show NASA HQ and Decadal Committee that there is a lot of interest in this topic. \\
 +*AK suggests maybe a white paper would be good output from this workshop. SH says our report could be a white paper.\\
 +*CL says cost is just as important -- that there is a clear case that this is under $1B.\\
 +*SH says major goal for this workshop is to make sure Decadal is told how space and ground work together.\\
 +*CL: starting point is all-sky, lowish resolution complementarity with part-sky higher resolution, basics of that written down by a small number of people and then move forward from there. \\
 +*SH: We've switched to the idea of having this workshop *after* the space instrument is designed (just to clarify). So the workshop is to explore the complementarity after space mission is designed. \\
 +*SH: Danger of delaying: If Sept or Oct, we might not have enough time to digest developments between then and December when report is due.\\
 +*CL: Oct CDT report will have section on space/ground complementarity.\\
 +*SH: Input to that report won't have specifics on CMBP. So will be generalities.\\
 +*CL: We'll be able to go forward from there once we have CMBP specifics.\\
 +*SH: Will touch base with John Carlstrom and other S4 folks about some time in mid 2018 having this workshop.\\
 +*SH: CDT report section written by SH, Adrian Lee, and ...(missed it).\\
  
  
 ====Full sky simulations==== ====Full sky simulations====
 +*LK: Let's discuss what bands we're using.\\
 +*SH: has CMBP bands as starting at 30 and increasing by 1.2, all with width of dnu=0.25nu\\
 +*CL: we should include bands at lower frequencies than 30.\\
 +*JB: let's use what's already on disk, at least for first stage\\
 +*SH will select bands to be used based on existing bands; i.e., ones for which signal maps already exist.\\
 +*LK and JB to further develop the data challenge plan, with input from other interested parties, and how it is staged. \\
