I appreciate his efforts for this one year and I would like to announce about a vice chair from EA. After discussion among EA ASAC members, Momose-san agreed to be a vice chair. I hope he will make a good contribution with Frederic.

Since our new chairman is French it was not appropriate to hold it on out usual day, Wednesday, which would of course have been the 14th of July. I hope that Thursday will be possible for a reasonable number of people. I am sorry for not giving you more notice. I suppose that quite a few people will be on holiday at the moment, but I do not see this as a meeting with important decisions to be made - it will mainly be a briefing on recent developments and an opportunity for ASAC members to ask questions. I do hope that you can join us. # Toll Number: 1-203-480-8549 # USA Toll Free Number: 866-600-8836 # Passcode: 3283890 Best Richard -- ******************************************************************* Richard Hills Phone: +56 2 467 6175 ALMA Project Scientist Fax: +56 2 467 6104 Av El Golf 40, Piso 18 Apmnt: +56 2 474 1642 Santiago, Chile Mobile +56 97 608 1582 ******************************************************************* From rhills at alma.cl Wed Jul 14 23:00:55 2010 From: rhills at alma.cl (Richard Hills) Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:00:55 +0000 Subject: [asac] Telecon on Thursday July 15th at 14:30 UTC In-Reply-To: <4C3D2668.2040300@alma.cl> References: <4C3D2668.2040300@alma.cl> Message-ID: <4C3E79E7.3040305@alma.cl> The agenda is now taking shape at https://safe.nrao.edu/wiki/bin/view/ALMA/ASAC7Jul10Agenda > # Toll Number: 1-203-480-8549 > # USA Toll Free Number: 866-600-8836 > # Passcode: 3283890 > Best Richard -- ******************************************************************* Richard Hills Phone: +56 2 467 6175 ALMA Project Scientist Fax: +56 2 467 6104 Av El Golf 40, Piso 18 Apmnt: +56 2 474 1642 Santiago, Chile Mobile +56 97 608 1582 ******************************************************************* From rhills at alma.cl Mon Jul 26 19:18:11 2010 From: rhills at alma.cl (Richard Hills) Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:18:11 +0000 Subject: [asac] ASAC Follow up Message-ID: <4C4E17B3.2000704@alma.cl> Two things that I was suppose to do right after the last telecon: 1) Travel for October meetings If you haven't already done so, you all need to make your travel arrangements for October. I am told that flights may be quite full. I just had a nightmare trying to get back from the UK myself so please get moving on this. Remember that you need to get the appropriate admin person for your region to get the international tickets for you. That would presumably be the same person who arranges for you to go to ESAC, EASAC or ANASAC meetings. For the ASAC meeting itself you really need to be here in Santiago by the afternoon of the 12th Oct at the latest so we can start at 9am on the 13th. Remember that the meeting will be in the new ALMA office in Vitacura and we have made a block booking at the Director Hotel which is near there. If we can get the meeting finished by about 4pm on the 14th then it would be possible to book flights out leaving from about 7pm that evening if you are anxious to get home. If you want to visit the site before hand, then it would be possible (but tiring) to fly in to Santiago on the morning of the 11th, go up to the site on the afternoon of the 11th, visit that evening and on the morning of the 12th and come back to Santiago that evening. The more relaxed approach would be to get to Santiago on the 10th. Several of you will be coming earlier for the preceding meetings anyway, see below. In general it would be best if you can get your tickets for flying to and from San Pedro at the same time as you get your international tickets - that saves money and effort. Remember however that the shuttle to the site meets only the LA 142 (morning) and LA 154 (afternoon) flights going up and gets you there in time for LA 143 and LA 155 coming down. I suggest you take account of jet lag in making these bookings - e.g. it you are coming from Europe you will be sleepy in the evenings and awake early in the morning. So please let Claudia Reyes know as soon as possible what you plan to do - in particular what flights you expect to be on. She will then take care of the local arrangements - e.g. accommodation in Santiago and so on. Please also include you nationality and passport numbers in your message - we need them to get things reserved here. 2) The lists of "liaison" people sent to me are: Commissioning : Nario Kuno, Doug Johnstone, Jesus Martin-Pintado. Meeting 8/9 Oct AT THE OSF Operations : Toshikazu Onishi, Andrew Baker, Fr?d?ric Gueth. Meeting 11/12 Oct IN SANTIAGO ARCs : Munetake Momose, Kelsey Johnson, Linda Tacconi Best Richard p.s. 6 antennas on the high site as of today. No picture of that yet so here is one taken from the centre of Santiago yesterday instead. It isn't always smoggy here! -- ******************************************************************* Richard Hills Phone: +56 2 467 6175 ALMA Project Scientist Fax: +56 2 467 6104 Av El Golf 40, Piso 18 Apmnt: +56 2 474 1642 Santiago, Chile Mobile +56 97 608 1582 ******************************************************************* -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
