2. The Projects Neutrino telescopes Other Approaches (mostly UHE)
South Pole: AMANDA/IceCube
Mediterranean: ANTARES,NEMO,NESTOR + KM3NeT
… and also: Baikal
Other Approaches (mostly UHE)
Radio: IceCube, Auger, LOFAR, ANITA, …
Acoustic: R&D projects
EUSO
UHE methods overlap with cosmic ray experiments  suggest to combine WP3 (CR)+WP4(n)
U. Katz: WP4

3. WP4 Organisation Major questions: For today & next meeting:
What is the mandate of the Working Groups? What is their expected life time? What are they supposed to deliver beyond “phase 1”?
How is membership organised? Through appointment by national funding agencies? Matrix “themes” vs. “nations”? Is there a bottom-up component? Role of ApPEC PRC?
For today & next meeting:
U.K. convenes meeting
Additional members to be approached (IceCube, radio)
Thereafter …
(S)Election of chair person, candidatures & decision depend on answers on above questions and on WP3+WP4 status.
U. Katz: WP4

4. Immediate Action Set up organisational structure
mailing list, some extent of coordination, actions and deadlines,…
agree on immediate task: review and modify the corresponding section of the ApPEC Roadmap draft.
Collect comments on Roadmap draft
several issues have been discussed, agreement that modifications are desirable;
collection of suggestions and arguments by to U.K, deadline: ;
suggested modifications will be given to ApPEC PRC; goal: implementation in ApPEC Roadmap & “phase 1“;
WP3/W4 coordination: yet to be defined.
U. Katz: WP4

5. Thoughts about the Roadmap
Who is the target reader?
It is a big difference whether we address an astroparticle scientist, a “general natural scientist” or a politician;
current document directed to rather wide audience.
Widening the Roadmap acceptance
by adding an “expert level version” (e.g. web page)?
by adding expert-type appendices?
Professional editing support
including features like explanation boxes, examples, etc. at a professional editing level might be worth while to consider;
could the resources come from ASPERA?
Develop to textbook ?!
U. Katz: WP4

6. Beyond Phase 1 Industry Global aspects Time lines
take stock of existing and foreseen cooperations
description possibly needs extra chapter (not organised along the working group/roadmap themes)
question: Phase 0, 1, 2 or 3?
Global aspects
balancing of EU/US/Japan activities
mention invitation for beyond-EU participations?
Time lines
what information is needed when?
by what deadlines will projects/WGs have to deliver what? …
