9. Interests
We have general interest in tracking software, data analysis (decay reconstructions) software, detector electronics, and muon and neutron detection (at least for hermeticity reasons).
In physics, we have interest in exclusive events, high-statistics QCD studies, and hadron spectroscopy.

10. Proposed involvement
CDC: electronics, software – close work with the proposed new groups from Thailand and Vietnam ?
KLM: muon detection and perhaps neutron measurements
Data analysis: exclusive event reconstruction
Some cluster and grid computing resources available.

11. Financial Existing funds allow some travel and minor purchases.
Further funds to be procured. Small funds are easily obtainable for travel, minor purchases and perhaps contributions to running costs. Hope to apply for some substantial funding.
