16. Discussions on facilities for HEP-relevant accelerator development
Need for positron acceleration R&D (novel laser-based positron generation and cooling)
Develop test beams useful for detector development (way to bridge the gap between advanced accelerators and HEP community)
Bunch shaping and format tunability highly desirable.
Emphasis on reliability
Development of high rep rate (kHz and beyond) capabilities important (improved stability via feedback controls, etc.)

17. General conclusions from WG8 discussions
Future linear collider based on ANA must be a global effort
Collider subsystems (non-linac components) should be redesigned to take advantage of the properties of the ANA beams.
FF/BDS (replace with plasma focusing system?)
Damping rings (replace with linear cooling system?) …
Accelerator must be integrated with all collider subsystems
Communication with conventional accelerator physicists needs to be stronger (not to re-invent)
Competition between multiple concepts good (at this R&D phase).
Periodic community reviews to identify risks, R&D, and align priorities (this was extremely useful toward development of ILC, CLIC, etc.)

18. ALEGRO (Advanced LinEar collider study GROup)
Provide a framework for international coordination and communication
Build on development of R&D roadmaps (in US and Europe)
Broaden the community of Advanced Aceelerator R&D towards HEP applications, involving universities, accelerator labs/institutes and including advanced accelerator researchers, conventional accelerator/collider researchers, and high-energy physicists/detector experts.
