Electron cloud has been identified as one of the highest priority issues for the ILC Damping Rings (DR). A working group has evaluated the electron cloud effect and instability, and mitigation solutions for the electron cloud formation. Working group deliverables include recommendations for the baseline and alternate solutions for the electron cloud mitigation in various regions of the ILC Positron DR, which is presently assumed to be the 3.2km design. Detailed studies of a range of mitigation options including coatings, clearing electrodes, grooves and novel concepts, were carried out over the previous several years by nearly 50 researchers, and the results of the studies form the basis for the recommendation. The assessments of the benefits or risks associated with the various options were based on a systematic ranking scheme. The recommendations are the result of the working group discussions held at numerous meetings and during a dedicated workshop. The mitigation choices will be also presented in a more detailed report later in 2012. In addition, a number of items requiring further investigation were identified and studies will be carried out at CesrTA and other institutions.
