Dear Colleagues,
 		 The video conference will be held between noon and 3 PM 
US Eastern time. Connection details will be circulated.

                  We plan to have a presentation on the DELPHES fast 
detector simulation, and a presentation on a homebrew fast simulation 
setup. A presentation from someone using PGS would also be useful. If you are using 
PGS and would like to share some information about it, please contact us.

Secondly, it would be very useful to have a discussion on an event 
generator in which one can set anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings. The 
corresponding technology for generating events after setting anomalous 
trilinear gauge couplings has been around and used heavily for a long 
time. However, it is unclear whether a general purpose framework for aQGC 
has been incorporated into a generator that everyone can use as a 
"standard" for sensitivity studies. A program called WHIZARD does exist.

If you are knowledgeable about aQGC and would like to lead a discussion on 
it, please let us know. We believe that having such a "standard" program 
is going to be important for us.

  thanks,
Doreen, Michael and Ashutosh
