The goal is to arrive at a documented baseline configuration for the damping rings by the end of 2005. A number of task forces have been formed to carry out specific studies of the various options available. The detailed work plans for the various task forces will be posted as they become available. Anyone with an interest in damping rings is more than welcome to participate. To contribute, please contact the co-ordinator for the area you are interested in.
