The Large Detector Concept for the International Linear Collider is based on a large continuous gaseous tracker surrounded by a highly granular calorimeter. To initiate discussion and work to solidify this concept, a discussion document has been prepared. The document can be downloaded from the LDC web site, http://www.ilcldc.org (go to: LDC documents) If you are interested in participating in the LDC study, please register yourself at the website. Even if you are already registered with the LDC mailing list, please register with the new system. Comments and suggestions about the discussion document are encouraged. Please use the discussion forums on the web site to enter your comments and subscribe to the forum topics that interest you. The first general meeting of the LDC group will be held on Friday, May 27 at 0700 Pacific, 1600 Central Europe, 2300 Japan, using VRVS (and possibly regular phone service).
