-	Detector summit will take place 19-20^th 
-	Peer Review is rescheduled to July 30^th - Jerry would like Frederick to come to JPL before CDR, Jean-Louis will look into this
010530-01 Dominique to clarify whether an MCU-BSM ICD is available or planned to be written (due 15^th June) -
Still Open

2.	Monthly Reports
Everyone seemed happy about reporting using the template provided. The foillowing reports had been received:
•	ATC -  Y
•	Cardiff - Y
•	Sap - to be sent by end of week
•	IFSI - to be sent by end of week
•	LAM
•	MSSL - Y
•	RAL
•	JPL - to be sent today
•	USK - to be sent by end of week - a problem with the cryoharness definition has been identified and an email will be sent to John.
•	SBT - Y 

During the discussion, someone raised the problem of easily identifying the documents in a livelink folder (particularly the difficulty of finding their Document Number) 
Action 03: Ken to devise, and get implemented, a livelink report to display document information for a given folder

3.	Consortium Meeting 
Ken reminded everyone of the PM session of this meeting and that if PMs were not attemnding it would be expected that Co-Is would take their place.

4.	AOB
•	John and Doug will be attending the next EMC WG meeting this week and are expected to provide the SPIRE decision on use of the DC/DC converter sync line. They had asked Christophe for his views, but had no reply. Jean-Louis said he would get Christophe to contact John before he left for the meeting
•	PT#12 Minutes will be distributed this week. All PMs should read them carefully.
•	Gerry sent comments on the CEA-JPL MOU - but J-L hasn't seen them as they were only sent to Laurent.
Action 04: Gerry to send copy of his comments on the CEA-JPL MOU to Jean-Louis (Due 15 June)
•	Berend is waiting for updates to the mass of subsystems from PMs so that he can update the structure model in order to provide the mechanical specifications. All inputs should also be copied to John and Colin for inclusion into the Budget spreadsheet.
•	Jean-Louis said he is still waiting on a final decision on the DRCU grounding scheme. The delay is causing a schedule slip. John  should decide this matter urgently.
Action 05: John to notify Sap of the grounding scheme to be used for the DRCU (due TBD)
•	Christophe has sent several documents as input to the recent DCU telecon. These document should be commented upon as soon as possible 
•	Mounting area available on the structure cover is now at a minimum due to optical constraints (clearance now stands at 4mm c.f. previous value of 7mm, which is incompatible with the requirements?)  Berend is checking this clearance with HIFI, but we need to raise this at the IID B meeting with Alcatel.
•	Shutter electrical and mechanical I/F is expected to be defined by the end of June, in time for the for the DDR on 17^th July
•	The Shutter launch latch is to be monitored by the spacecraft. In order to do this Alcatel require that a microswitch be used to indicate the latch position. This might need more wires in the shutter harness - john will be notified.
