[asac] ASAC Charges/Response/F2F

[Jean L. Turner]

Hi Leonardo & ASAC:

I have two comments about the September meeting.

First, and Leonardo, Al, or Tom can verify this date, our
report is due into the Board the 2nd week of October. How
are we going to do that if our meeting is the 3rd or 4th
week in September? It takes a week just to turn around two
drafts, given the time zone spread among us. This is an
unrealistic expectation.

Second, the end of June (the Board meeting) is awfully late to
be setting up a meeting in the US in Sept, especially if one
of the dates is Labor Day. There is a meeting being planned for
the third week in Sept 16/17 that some of us may be attending,
and there are college football games on the other weekends in
many cities.


Jean

We have four charges for our next meeting:
>
> 1- This is a "possible" one in the current formulation: following
the
> probable placement of the antenna contract and the completion of the
rebaselining effort we may be asked to re-evaluate the rebaselining
part
> of our Feb 2005 charge 1.
>
> 2- Our "old" charge 2 is up again as we requested.
>
> 3- This is a charge on Demonstration Science
>
> 4- We are asked to review the revised Science Requirements Document (if
> available) and make recommendations on its adoption
>
> I would like to discuss how we will prepare our face to face
> discussion
> at the next telecon on June 7.
