Subject: IPP Long Range Planning Town Hall meeting (June 4, 2005)

Dear IPP Members,

..

At the Council meeting last week we also discussed preparations for
the upcoming NSERC Subatomic Physics long range planning
exercise. NSERC in the process of staffing the committee. It is
anticipated they will be holding a couple of community consultation
meetings in the fall of 2005. In anticipation of this IPP Council will
prepare a summary of the various projects and prospects in Canadian
particle physics for the coming decade.

We anticipate preparing a briefing paper for the long-range planning
committee similar to the one from five years ago (see the bottom of
the page at www.ipp.ca, where the document from the previous exercise
is still posted). To get input and stimulate discussion in the
community we will hold a one-day IPP town hall meeting in conjunction
with the IPP Annual General Meeting.

The Annual General Meeting will be held Sunday afternoon, the 5th of
June at the CAP meeting in Vancouver. We will hold the long range
planning meeting on Saturday the 4th of June, in the TRIUMF
auditorium.  We expect short presentations from all of the current IPP
projects as well as those groups who are preparing for future
projects. We encourage any member of the community with an interesting
particle physics project to get in touch with us and we will try to
find time on the agenda to hear from them.

More details on the agenda for the meeting will be coming in a few
weeks. I look forward to seeing many of you at the town-hall and
annual general meetings.


William
