  After extensive discussions with synchrotron radiation users and accelerator scientists in Japan, we came to the conclusion that a 5 GeV energy recovery linac (ERL) should be the most suitable candidate as the future light source at the Photon Factory to foster cutting edge experiments and support a large variety of user needs from VUV to X-rays. Given the state of the ERL developments worldwide, it is necessary to construct a prototype ERL, with the energy of ~200 MeV to develop several critical components such as electron guns and superconducting cavities. KEK and Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), which has already built a low energy (17 MeV) ERL and that is also proposing the construction of an ERL-based future light source, are planning to construct together the prototype ERL at the KEK site. To this end, the official organization of the ERL project office has started at KEK from 1st of April 2006. An R&D team for the prototype ERL is going to be organized in collaboration with accelerator scientists from the other facilities, ISSP, UVSOR and SPring-8.
