  A review of the possible optics configurations for the 2015 LHC run will be
made. The rationale behind the various scenarios will also be presented
together with the latest results of the validation studies. Special runs, such
as Van der Meer and high-beta, will be discussed too. Finally, the next steps
and the related milestones will be discussed with the goal of achieving a
consensual decision on the optics configuration to be used for the LHC in the
coming weeks.
