Dear all, thanks for the fruitful (and short :)) meeting. I summarize the situation below as well as I could. Please add comments/remarks before next Tuesday at 18:00, and meet you there for polishing the last details and get going: https://cern.zoom.us/j/6539202634 all the best! D. Meeting about Invited talks to RPC2024 (attendants from IAC, IOC, LOC). Minutes: 1. Four invited talks were agreed on (titles are approximate - please provide feedback): - Paulo Fonte, LIP (on the celebration of the 25 years after the invention of the tRPC technology: past, present and future) ->Remote. - Rinaldo Santonico, Rome (the RPC technology). - Eraldo Oliveri, CERN (DRD1 looking into the future… MPGDs vs RPCs: overlaps, challenges, opportunities) - Silvia Dalla Torre, INFN-Trieste (the future of fast gaseous detectors). The possibility of merging Paulo’s and Rinaldo’s talk into a single one was considered, as an alternative, depending on the authors criterium. The possibility of an invited talk for Vladimir Peskov (on discharges) and another one for Alberto Blanco (applications beyond HEP) was strongly considered, but there was no unanimity at this stage. 2. In view of the limited number of contributions submitted, several actions were proposed: - Encourage prospective contributors to submit as soon as possible, in particular big collaborations (deadline is July 1st). - Identify relevant topical R&D areas, as well as identifying conveners that could energize the community and with the intention to create dedicated sessions and, depending on the feedback received, consider the creation of a session and/or propose an invited talk. The identified areas were:      * Discharges: Vladimir Peskov / Piotr Gasik      * BHEP: Alberto Blanco /Imad Laktineh(DRD1)      * Materials: Carlos Pecharromán, D. Piccolo(DRD1), A. Pastore(DRD1).    (note: there are several contributions on eco-gases, we should probably ask them to address this anyhow)      * Simulations: P. Verwilligen(DRD1), M. Abbrescia.      * Electronics: M. Gouzevitch(DRD1), R. Cardarelli The suggestion of the IAC/IOC was to reach to this people (other can be proposed/added, ideally involving IAC/IOC members), and asking them try to cover the corresponding topical areas. 3. In regard to the status of submissions, two things were mentioned:     * From the LOC: by the first week of July it will be made available the list with all contributions as well as proposal for acceptance/rejection/merging, for the IAC/IOC to assess.     * The IOC manifested interest on assessing the adequacy of the currently submitted contributions. 3. Action items. - Evaluate this proposal and comment, before Tuesday 18th, 18:00. - An IOC/IAC meeting will be scheduled on that date, and decisions taken.
