List for the 2014 Hot QCD White Paper Writing Group

["W.A. Zajc" <zajc AT nevis.columbia.edu>]

Hello all:

I have uploaded what I view as a near-final version of our white paper for release to the community. I have made a good faith effort to respond to all comments received over the past 2-3 weeks, as evidenced by the various updates you can view in github. 

Perhaps the most substantive of these

 https://github.com/GuntherRoland/HotQCDWhitePaper/commit/a510284aef0a03ef68de1f110c806d98a5352815

is not labeled correctly, as I was making multiple changes per upload. At the link above, you can changes that I made to the Executive Summary, based on my judgment in combination with excellent input from Paul Sorensen and Krishna Kumar. I believe this strengthens both Recc #1 and Recc #2. If you look at only one thing, please have a look at this.

I do plan to release the white paper in the next 1-2 days. I am likely to have limited time to respond further to comments, due to very serious health issues of my mother-in-law, so please accept what will be a best-effort response on my part.

Best regards, and thanks once again for the team effort in assembling this,

Bill
