Draft Charge:

Review the Level 2 Trigger project as described in the Technical Design Reports
and report in writing to the Upgrade Project Managers and the Spokespersons.
This Review will cover Level 2 Global and the Calorimeter Preprocessor, as well
as their components: Alpha processor, Magic Bus Transceiver (MBT), Second Level
Input Computer (SLIC) and Fiber Interface Converter (FIC).  Other Preprocessors
will be dealt with in subsequent specific reviews administered by the Trigger
Manager directly.

The Review should be based on the written TDRs, presentations by the Trigger
group and discussions during the Review.  You should consider whether the design
and implementation of the system is consistent with the physics goals of the
experiment in Run II, including possible expansion of the system to accommodate
STT triggers.  You should explore the system design to determine whether it is
comprehensive and sound.  Does it accomplish the goals efficiently and in a
cost-effective manner?

Please include the following topics in your deliberations:
       Bandwidth capability
       Error detection, recovery
       Event buffering
       Trigger bit hierarchy, relationship to Level 1
       Downloading and verification of same
       Debugging and evaluation of trigger performance
