a) List of the instruments that could possibly be read directly by the COMPASS
DCS system without LabVIEW in between

b) Fabrice: CERN ICE support proposed two ways to use LabVIEW remotely. First
possibility is to use a web interface to the LabVIEW and second is to 
rewrite the data acquisition software as split server/client application.

c) The microwave table has to stay close to the polarized target due to wave
guide losses. Possibility to remote control the servo motors was
discussed. The other possibility would be to have no beam during the 
polarization build up in 2.5 T field. This should be possible since the
Drell-Yan data is taken in transverse dipole field. Norihiro: using
dipole field reversals would make more efficient use of the beam time.

d) Yuri: submit Dubna Spin 2012 proceeding paper.

e) Fabrice: magnet trim coils have been repaired with the new heaters. The
wiring inside has been replaced by LHC type radiation hard wiring.
