-  * Monte Carlo: ​ 
-    * improvements to ME+PS accuracy, both logarithmic and fixed order; benchmarking to understand the roles of each, testing of log-enhanced terms (using LEP data?); impact of power corrections,​ e.g. induced by recoil schemes 
-    * non-perturbative corrections;​ why are these uncertainties dominant in so many LHC analyses; can this situation be improved? 
-    * improving/​extending NNLO+PS 
-    * review of EW parton showers/​heavy gauge boson radiation, at LHC and 100 TeV; partial compensation of virtual EW Sudakov logs.
