An excess of signal-like events above the expected background, corresponding
to approximately three standard deviations, was observed in the search for the
Standard Model Higgs boson at LEP in 2000. This excess is consistent with the
existence of a Higgs boson with mass 115GeV/c2. Relevant consistency and
robustness checks, which further support the signal interpretation, are
presented.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, XXXVIth Rencontres de Moriond, France, 200
