[clas12_rgk] draft of response letter to CCC from run group K

[Latifa Elouadrhiri]

Dear Annalisa and Volker,

As we discussed before at our last RGK meeting, I agree with Francois 
and Maxime. We need to make the case in the letter of this requirement 
running at one given energy not having to combine different data sets of 
different energies. It is  not just that we will benefit from.

Another suggestion is that the letter can be short and just to the point.

Best regards,

Latifa
