P5 Virtual Town Hall January 8 2014 1600 UTC Sign Up

Dear Colleague,

As you know, P5 is underway, building upon the yearlong Snowmass process. A public website
(http://interactions.org/p5) provides news and information (including the charge and panel membership),
links to meetings, and a community submissions portal.

Each of the three public meetings had a Town Hall, and we’d now like to try something new: a Virtual Town Hall meeting, which will be held on 8 January starting at 16:00 UTC (8 AM Pacific, 9AM Mountain, 10AM Central, 11AM Eastern US) for up to 90 minutes, depending on interest. We apologize to our colleagues working in Asia for the inconvenient time.

The Virtual Town Hall meeting is open to anyone working in particle physics. For practical reasons, it is necessary to register to participate. As time is limited, and there likely are many issues to cover, each person will be given up to 3 minutes to speak. All are welcome; however, if it becomes necessary to limit the number of speakers, preference will be given to those who work in US-funded groups and were not able to attend one of the three previous Town Hall meetings. An important goal of this meeting is participation by younger colleagues and those working at CERN and at universities and labs not near the locations of the previous Town Hall meetings. To conserve connection lines, we ask people working together at institutions to gather when joining the meeting.

The meeting will be recorded so that P5 members can review the discussion later, as needed.

If you have questions or suggestions about this site please send them to:

Many thanks!

Question Title

* 6. The primary topic on which I will speak at the Virtual Town Hall is: (Please note as of 1710 EST Jan 7 due to the large number of colleagues who have indicated they wish to speak at the the meeting we can no longer accommodate additional speakers. Indicating an intention to speak will place you on a wait list. Depending on the level of demand and how well this virtual meeting experiment works there may be a second virtual town hall meeting where those that could not speak on January 8 will be given priority.)

What are the most important issues, or aspects of the charge, for P5 to address, and how might P5 think about these?

Process: based on the agendas of the first three meetings, what topics might P5 be missing? Are there any things P5 might do differently?

What do you think makes a great P5 report?

Given that not everything can receive sufficient priority to be funded, how can the community come together to support the P5 recommendations?

Anything else?

Not planning to speak, just listening
