7. Not covered task We are carefully look at the not covered tasks in the project putting them in a priority list. Ask the RPC Institution: – to give a list of people at CERN – to contribute to the data taking – send manpower and experts at CERN – Cover all the empty boxes At the end the not covered task list will be send to the CMS MB to ask for new institutions and help 7/12/10Muon IB - Pigi Paolucci7
