-This working group shares the NMM project's Friday time slot (from 11 am to 12 pm EST), which is (roughly) alternated (every other week) between meetings focused on NMM-specific issues and meetings in which the working group's other goals are discussed.  All members of the group are invited to attend any meetings in which they have an interest.+This working group used to share the NMM project's Friday time slot (from 11 am to 12 pm EST).  Detailed NMM analysis discussion now occurs on Tuesdays at 2:30 pm EST (same esnet connection info), together with discussion of ongoing veto-shield analysis projects.  Agendas and minutes are available from the [[http://neutron.physics.ucsb.edu/twiki/bin/view/Neutron/WeeklyMeetings|NMM meetings page]].

 +Thus, the AARM Neutron Benchmarking Working Group now owns the Friday time slot.  On an ~monthly basis, we will have broad-interest summary meetings in which one or more of above listed projects will report on recent developments.
