=== Agenda ===
 * Summary of CERN costing Workshop - AK.
 * Points for discussion
  * Specification of level 3 system interfaces.
  * Organisation of services.
 * Cost model for FFAG - NB.

=== Minutes ===
 * AK gave summary of Costing Workshop.
 * Level 3 breakdown structure was discussed. Agreed on the level 3 systems being the proton driver; target, capture and decay (including the proton absorber); muon front-end; muon acceleration; and decay ring.  Muon acceleration will be broken down into linac, RLA 1, RLA 2 and FFAG.
 * AK to draft an interface document giving the beam parameters and other key pieces of information to specify the interface between level 3 systems.
 * Discussed need for cost focal points (CFPs) i.e. people responsible for providing information that goes into the costing tool.  This doesn't have to be one person per level 3 system but is more like one person per level 4 system.
 * Current list of CFPs are:
  * Proton Driver Front-End: Juergen Pozimski.
  * Proton Driver Acceleration: Jaroslaw Pasternak.
  * Muon Front-end: Chris Rogers.
  * Linac and RLAs: Ajit Kurup.
  * FFAG: Scott Berg, Neil Bliss.
  * Decay Rings: Norbert Collomb, David Kelliher.
 * AK and target people will have a meeting soon to discuss breakdown of target, capture, decay system and identification of CFPs.
 * Should get support from CERN to cost buildings and tunnels
  * Neil Bliss pointed out that there is expertise at Daresbury to do this and it would be useful to have a comparison with numbers from CERN.
 * Schedule as set out for EUROnu is
  * CERN review with AK and CFPs in June/July.
  * Close to final version of costing for the EUROnu report by end of December.
 * AK would like to have first version of level 4/5 breakdown done and have CFPs for all systems within 2 weeks.
 * Discussed services
  * Neil Bliss pointed out that slide 6 in AKs talk should be called Hardware and Services to eliminate confusion.
  * Current methodology is to have similar hardware and services grouped together for each level 3 system.  Items requiring specialised hardware or services should list them under that subsystem.
  * Kirk !MacDonald pointed out that a quench protection system needs to be included.  AK suggested having this as a separate subsystem for each level 3 system.
 * Neil Bliss showed work he has been doing on costing the FFAG.
  * Revised parameter list.
  * Revised layout and schematics.
  * Cost model.
  * Include capital and running costs.
  * Cost breakdown structure.
 * Next meeting will be in about 4 weeks time.
