Dear ASAC members,<br>
<br>
for the sake specifically of the ASAC members who did not attend
the telecon today I summarize our agreement for the charges. Since
they are more substantial than most of us anticipated, we thought it
useful to work on them beforehand. We therefore have assigned people
to them, and will do the following:<br>
<br>
All ASAC members who feel they can contribute to a charge
communicate this contribution to the assigned leaders. The discussion
leader will assemble the input, and send a short summary to the ASAC
before the next telecon, on September 9. We re-discuss the charges at
the next telecon, and finally at the face-to-face meeting. It is
expected that the discussion leaders also take it upon themselves to
contribute the section to the report.<br>
<br>
Here the assigned names:<br>
<br>
1) Science criteria for tradeoff studies: Ewine (Receivers), Jean
(Baselines and Antennas)<br>
<br>
2) Policies for joint projects, large proposals: Chris W., Leonardo,
Diego<br>
<br>
3) Help Science IPT defining the major science projects challenging for
calibration: Chris C., Pierre<br>
<br>
4) Objects for Demonstration Science: Peter, Phil<br>
<br>
5) Progress toward ScienceVerification etc. plan: Lee, John<br>
<br>
We already had an animated discussion about Charge 1. I think the
consensus was to describe the science loss any descoping would have,
and not only to consider complete losses of capabilities, but also
delaying or downsizing (e.g. getting only half of the receivers of a
specific band).<br>
