So the only risk is that some goals turn out to be too aggressive.

Resolution: previous slide. Costing: The TPC cost is nearly independent of the size for the different ILD models. Previous TPC estimates at  25 M€ can only become reliable after the design decisions. For earlier ILD-detector estimates at  500 M€, cost drivers are the magnet and the calorimeters, so the TPC cost is not an issue for the optimization. 1.TPC Performance goals (e.g., using resolution, costing?)How was the subdetector optimized?

11/09/2008 Ron Settles MPI-Munich/DESY LCTPC planning for the LOI20 7. Final comment Present optimization studies are showing minor differences in the physics performance of GLD ' and LDC ', therefore why not simply choose one or the other? Also this means that the hardware baseline we choose for the LOI doesn’t have to agree exactly with the ones generated for the simulation of LDC ' or GLD‘. 7.
