4. Proposal to drop GPC #216, #276
   • From Dan Cebra: "Sadly, we should probably drop papers 216 and 276. The students doing these analyses have left the collaboration and at this point there seems to be no manpower to follow-up. From my point of view, both of these papers represented analysis efforts that provided the justification for a FXT program at STAR. They were important in achieving that goal. However, as the "physics" data are now available, priority should be given to moving newer analysis efforts."
