Dear Colleagues,
 In light of the recent technology choice for  the ILC, we will be 
regenerating the standard data samples which we have been 
using for physics and detector studies to reflect the different
beam energy spread, beamstrahlung and bremsstrahlung.
 In addition to the inclusive 2ab-1 Standard Model sample 
generated by Tim Barklow and used for fast MC studies, we 
have also traditionally provided the following smaller datasets 
which have been sent through the full detector simulations and 
provide the basis for full reconstruction and analysis.
 Please look over the following list and respond with any requests
for additional channels which would be useful for your analyses.
We will not begin generation until we receive additional guidance
on which beam parameters to use, but we would like to get feedback
from you soon. We will also be coordinating with the other regional
simulation groups.
 
Remember, LCWS '05 is less than 6 months away!
