Establishing institutes representatives including proxies and quorum
(A. Blondel)
See table below. There was agreement that representatives who could not attend a CB meeting
should give proxy to another institute representatives or to a member of their own institute, rather
than to collaboration officers (i.e. Spokesperson, deputy, technical coordinator or CB chair). It
was agreed to try EVO next time: several members had not been called in spite of request.

Minutes of the last meeting
The minutes (thanks to Grzegorz Stefanek) had been distributed in advance and were approved.
Adoption of the agenda
Agenda was approved with a few additions. Agenda shown here reflects these changes.
Formal issues
Draft of collaboration agreement Peter Seyboth will prepare a very simple collaboration
agreement based on NA49. The two-years old MOU, already approved by NA49, handing out
the experiment hardware from NA49 to NA61 will be distributed among the NA61 collaborators.
Those groups who were in NA49 but will not be members of NA61 will be asked to make a gift
of their equipment to NA49 collaboration.
possible new collaborators Alain Blondel mentioned interest of Italian groups Bari,
Milano, Padova who have not yet been able to be full members of the collaboration but would
like to be kept on the collaboration mailing list while they seek ways to participate. It was agreed
to keep them on the NA61-all mailing list but not on any other collaboration list. Situation will be
reviewed at the time of the beginning of the run in September 2007.
Collection of common fund and in cash contributions. Peter Seyboth went through
the list to understand if everyone was technically able to pay. (An appropriate CERN supplier
code has to be available for the finance department)
Good news were reported with the probable approval of the Polish grant and of a grant from the
University of Geneva for the forward TOF.

NA61 Nickname and logo
Following recommendation of many collaboration members the collaboration board selected
SHINE (proposed by Alain) for the NA61 nick name and the corresponding Alain's logo (see
http://na61.web.cern.ch/na61/collaborationPages/logoProposal.html) for the NA61 logo. Many
thanks to all participants of the contest for the interesting proposals. Several modifications of the
logo were suggested and should be implemented/tried soon:
-replace the letter  by "N",
-add "NA61" in one of the corners,
-try oval instead of rectangular shape,
-have a version with white background.
