It is likely that the readiness review for Science Operations will take place immediately before the ASAC meeting so the Committee like might to discuss who from among their number should attend that as well. I am not suggesting that the whole ASAC should be at that review - that would be inefficient and it would distort that meeting - but I think that it would be helpful for there to be at least one ASAC member there, and perhaps a few. Closer to the event we will be asking about your requirements for accommodation and visiting the site. Remember that your expenses and travel arrangements are dealt with by the Executive of the appropriate ALMA Partner.
