  • 23A
    • Individual Review
      • Technical. MarkClaussen reported that the VLA/VLBA technical reviews are complete. He and BarryClark have checked the VLA reviews. MarkClaussen will check the VLBA reviews today and let DanaBalser know when they are done. KarenONeil reported that her understanding is that the GBT reviews are done and there are no known issues.
      • Science. DanaBalser reported that four of the ten panels have completed their science reviews. Most of the other panels are almost done. There are two potenital software issues. (1) One reviewer needs their review flag to be complete. This happens when a PST admin updates a review after it has been completed. (2) One reviewer entered a review (with a score) that they are not comfortable reviewing. This may need to be changed in the database. DanaBalser will provide CharlotteHausman with the details.
    • SRP Meetings. DanaBalser reported that the SRP meeting schedule has be changed. MarkClaussen and AmyMioduszewski have swapped SSP and PCO. The HLA SRP has moved their second meeting time to earlier in the morning.
  • 23B
    • PST Requirements. AllieCosta noted that we will begin the discussion of PST requirements on 22 September 2022 and conclude on 28 September 2022. Several tickets do not have requirements: (1) ALMA-VLA joint; and (2) GOST replacement. She will send around a link with the current tickets and identify those that need requirements. Please update the reqirements soon since CharlotteHausman needs to estimate them.
  • Next TTA Meeting. The TTA meeting will be cancelled for the next two weeks because of the SRP meetings. The next TTA meeting will be on 22 September 2022.
  • AOB
    • Helpdesk: DanaBalser and AllieCosta will discuss when to transfer the helpdesk management of the Proposing department.
    • TAC Meeting Travel: DanaBalser took a poll of TTA members who will travel to CV. He will send the list to JessicaBurns.
    • Joint ALMA-VLA: We briefly discussed how requests for future configurations will be handled. Initially the proposal was to accomodate any future configurations but this could lead to approved proposals a couple years in the future and was not acceptable. One suggestion was that only the configurations available within an ALMA cycle (two NRAO semesters). This would limit proposals that requested ALMA and VLA configurations that seldom overlap. AnthonyRemijan will email the TTA group a proposal with the specific configurations listed.
    • ALMA and GMVA: AnthonyRemijan reported that about 50% of GMVA proposals that include ALMA are rejected by ALMA but not by NRAO. ALMA requires that GMVA proposals that include ALMA need to go through the ALMA OT. AnthonyRemijan will talk with the GMVA scheduler to see how best to minimize the double jeopardy.
