The 2nd annual meeting of the ET design study project has been organized in the "Ettore Majorana centre for scientific culture", Erice (Sicily-Italy), from the 14th to the 16th of October 2009. It has been an important step toward the realization of a conceptual design of the 3rd generation gravitational wave observatory "ET". The progresses in the design Have been reported by the scientists involved in the project and a large fraction of the time has been reserved to the discussion upon the several design possibilities identified in the last year of activity. Site requirements and selection, low frequency noise suppression technologies, detector topologies and QND techniques, science case have been discussed.
