| * Bock and Seifert/Lawrence will lead the bolometric and HEMT studies respectively. The current bolometric study leans heavily toward a 1 degree option. There was discussion about the importance of including some more weight on a ~4 arcminute beam option. Several people thought that the 4' option must be analyzed and discussed in the final report, even if the final conclusion is that this option is second priority because of cost and because much of the science can be done from the ground. Al Kogut suggested that we put minimal amount of effort into a 4' analysis because CMBPol will or will not be done solely on the promise of detecting inflation, not the lensing signal. Jamie said he will need some resources to look again into the 4' option. | * Bock and Seifert/Lawrence will lead the bolometric and HEMT studies respectively.

| | * A brief discussion on the absence of 'data analysis' from the proposal framework. Julian and Steve will talk on the phone. |

| | * Committee discusses need to start work on the mission study well before proposal is actually funded. Steve is at the S. Pole Jan. 2 - Feb. 15. Shaul suggests to have a kick-off meeting during the 'detector' workshop in Washington that many of the co-Is will attend anyway. Steve will check. |
