Ralf Schleichert has been confirmed as the technical coordinator. The collaboration thanks Markus for his succesful spokesmanship (Andro told me to write that!). Instead of writing minutes of the meeting, we will put updated versions of the talks to our web server soon. As usual we plan to update the collaboration list after the meeting. Therefore, if you have not checked the collaboration list during the meeting, do this now (the file is available from our home page - just click on "collaboration members"). Suggestions for changes are welcome. During the PAC meeting last week the following ANKE beam times have been allocated: 125.2 (ANKE) 1 140.2 (ANKE) 2(+2) 146.1 1 (plus 2 in fall 2005) 147 (ANKE) 5 weeks to be scheduled after summer 2006 After internal discussions we preliminarily agreed to have a 4-weeks block for proposal 140.2 (dd -> alpha K+K-) in spring 2006. This week and in week 47 we will have beam time for proposal 146 to make cell tests and ABS commissioning at ANKE. We want to congratulate Alexandra ("Ola") Wronska for having passed her final Ph.D. exam last week! Ola has prepared a draft of a paper about her Ph.D. work (eta production in dd reactions) which will be submitted to EPJA. As always, this draft is available from our home page and should be checked by everyone (in particular the authors' list). Comments to Ola or Andro until end of next week. A paper on the slow control system for PIT has been submitted to NIM A and meanwhile accepted with some remarks by the referee. The paper is available from the ANKE web pages. A paper on deuteron polarimetry at COSY is in preparation (authors in charge: Andro Kacharava, Frank Rathmann and Colin Wilkin). Best regards, Markus Buescher and Andro Kacharava
