Note National programs will continue

• Should funding agencies rely more heavily on
  advisory bodies like ICFA, GAN, etc.? What
  should be the weight of their advice?
• Should an international group eventually have
  funding power?
• Do you think the type of the next big machine
  should be determined by a committee or by some
  other way? (If by committee, a committee
  consisting of whom?)
