Frontend/Trigger/DAQ Upgrade Workshop (July 13-14)
		==================================================	

							July  1, 1995

	

** It will be stated at the beginning of workshop that 
   - design parameters:  132nsec,  5*10**32
   - Trigger plans have to include tracking from CTC replacement 
     (therefore WG5 added)

** WG5 is proposed to be added.  It will NOT cover decisions on replacement
options.  This is purely a "discussion" session to do some of the "market 
searches (getting the ideas)" of frontend electronics and track processor 
for the CTC replacement "candidates".

** What we want at the end of workshop (one of the following for each agenda)
   - Decisions made, short notes summarizing them (compile relevant documents)
   - Task list made with names and schedules attached
   - Request list made (to the CDF collaboration or managements) 
   		<<< ALL SHOULD BE IN WRITING >>>
