This survey is not intended to be used a vote and the results will be used to guide the discussions on the meeting.

We would also like to encourage colleagues to review material in the physics briefing book which was made available at the end of September

      Discussion session I: Consensus on "plan A" (FCC)

      Discussion on whether we want to adjust our current statements on Plan A which support the FCC infrastructure whilst acknowledging the divide in opinions on the staging (some in-favour of the integrated programme, others for going straight to FCC-hh). Would we like to add a statement explicitly supporting the integrated programme?
