  Dear Prof. Namkung and ACFA Colleagues,

  Thanks to your cooperation we have many ideas for the new name of
  the Liniear Collider, which are listed in the ACFA home page:

  http://ccwww.kek.jp/acfa/ or http://www.acfa-forum.net/acfa/


  Please visit our ACFA home page and look the candidate names.
  If you have any other idea for the new name than the list,
  let the ACFA office know it until Jan. 31. '2003.

                      Sincerely yours,
                       ACFA Office

    Dear ACFA Colleagues,

    I would like to call for possible new names for the linear collider project which we 
are now promoting, i.e. JLC. 

    When the project was originally started by our Japanese colleagues two decades ago, 
the project was called as Japan Linear Collider, JLC.  Since then, the project has grown 
up to have more international nature.  Especially, since 1997 when the ACFA statement for 
the linear collider was declared, ACFA has been strongly supporting the JLC project.   
Then JLC has been translated to be a Joint Linear Collider.   By now significant progress 
in promotion of the project has been achieved under ACFA and the linear collider 
promotion committee at KEK.   Based on such progresses, recently ACFA Linear Collider 
Steering Committee (ALCSC) was formed  in Melbourne, Australia to coordinate the 
promotion of the project in Asian region.   However, in spite of such a situation, 
sometimes JLC is still called as Japan Linear Collider, which is not our intention.

    Now, an important write-up, "Roadmap Report," is in preparation which describes the 
basic design of accelerator, facilities, site issues as well as roadmap towards project 
realization, and a draft will be distributed soon.   The symposium for the project will 
be held on 12-Feb-2003 in Tsukuba-city. 

    We, I myself as the ALCSC chair, and members of the linear collider promotion 
committee, recognized that it is time to go the next step with a new name which more 
clearly expresses the nature of the project.   We hope that the roadmap report will be 
completed with the new name.

    For indivisuals who have an idea for the new name, please send your idea to following 
address by an e-mail. 

    ACFA office: setsuya.kawabata@xxxxxx 

    The deadline of sending your mail is 31-Jan-2003. 



    I am looking forward to hearing from all of you.

    Sincerely yours,


    Won Namkung

    Chair, Asian Linear Collider Steering Committee (ALCSC)
