-size of your group (over-subscribed, OK, needs more help)

-any identified areas of overlap with other groups and suggestions for handling them;

-sky model/generation plans/new tool needs (also potentially an area of overlap with other groups);

-studies/plots your group will be working on over the next year. These results should be known throughout the collaboration and they can be very useful in talks and other papers;

-what your group might do in DC2; DC2 is an opportunity for the science groups to practice doing analysis as a group.

-papers in process, papers planned for the next year, paper ideas for year 1 of operations; which are proposed to be Category 1 and which are Category 2;

-web presence, both internal and external. How do others find out information about what is going on in the group?

-Multiwavelength needs and planning. This is explicitly on the agenda for the Collaboration meeting.

-brief summary of other recent activities. Given the limited time, this will have to be a list with pointers to the work on the web.
