***recommendation addressed by increasing scope (and***
***number of participants) of July QCDlab workshop to***
***include a strong hot QCD component***

**Summaries, plans and discussions, SATURDAY, July 22, 2006 **

## PAC Impact

**good**
**specific advice on HENP program has been followed**
**I see no reason to expect current ALD to do otherwise**
**increased scope to strategic planning is fairly new**
**good evidence that the advice in this area is listened to**
**	****formal (written) and informal (executive session)**
**more difficult to implement quickly**
***I believe it’s a good idea to use PAC expertise to hone the vision and articulation of the vision ***
**Laboratory aims for & achieves good balance on the PAC**
**long serving/new, different parts of program, geographical, younger/older**
