Discussion
First discussion point:
Clarify the scope, objectives, and expected outcomes of deliverable D6.4 (Preliminary Detector TDR).
This clarification will allow us to validate the parameters of the deliverable more precisely and serve as a foundation for presenting the document at the conclusion of the ET-PP project.
Second point
Keep under WP6 coordination the deliverable D6.4
Feedback from ETO on strategy for pre TDR publication and follows up

Discussion
This session will address the following comment from the reviewers to D8.1:
- The plans for low latency gravitational wave strain data production and public dissemination of calibrated data, data quality flags, and their revisions, is lacking. The report must include this.
From the WP8 side, we must present a plan and associated requirements estimation for public release of GW strain data (and metadata) for ET, based on two potential public data release policy options:
a) The Cosmic Explorer public release data model [1], based on immediate (as close to real-time as possible) public data release
b) The LVK embargo based data release model, based on public data release after a given embargo period (i.e. 18-24 months).From the WP6 side, we need a carefully formulated reply to the question "when will the data be made public?". We need to be clear that (a) is an option that is being fully investigated, even if the decision is a complicated process that may still take time.

Discussion
First discussion point:
Conclude D6.5 (RI TDR) is not in the scope of ET-PP
Clarify the scope, objectives, and expected outcomes of deliverable D6.3 (Preliminary RI TDR).
This clarification will allow us to validate the parameters of the deliverable more precisely and serve as a foundation for presenting the document at the conclusion of the ET-PP project.
Second discussion point:
Move responsibility of the deliverable D6.3 from WP6 to WP5
Third discussion point:
Analyse of impact on Engineering Department and Project Office for ET-PP period but also for next phase of ET project
Fourth point:
To prepare for any eventuality, discuss the consequences if we are unable to produce this deliverable on time.
