Dear Jaap
I agree on your mail. Only I think that the coordinator of the small
angle analysis must be decided inside a meeting of the forward detector
people(NDC: Paris VI, Cerenkov: Trieste, Louvain, Tof: Milano, Padova,
...). I feel that Malcom is too young for such a urgent and delicate
task. Also for the analysis (post-dst) convener I think that a relevant
role must be taken directly by Friedrichs, so to benefit from his large
physics experience.
Regards Maurizio
