The conveners of the working groups and topics for reports are listed below.
The conveners will arrange plenary and working group agenda as they choose.
The primary goal of the working groups will be to define the experimental
program for the next two years. In particular, budget estimates for next year
must be formulated very soon. People with new results to present should
contact the appropriate convener directly.
