  • 25B
    • SRP Meetings. Overall no major issues. The HLA SRP was a bit tight on time. The EGS SRP found some technical issues and requested some technical reviews. About half of the SRPs have finalized their reviews. These should all be finalized by the end of the week.
    • TAC Meetings
      • Large Proposal Meeting. Please send DanaBalser any feedback on the agenda.
      • Regular Meeting. Please send DanaBalser any feedback on the agenda.
  • 26A
    • Proposal Caps. We discussed the planned changes to the open skies policies in semester 26A. These will be presented to the scientific staff, the NSF, the TAC, and the User's committee. We should think about any software changes that will make implementing these changes more efficient and include these in future prioritization discussions. For example, the 26A review cutout.
    • CfPs PST Tickets. After some discussion we agreed to work on the four tickets listed in the table below. The plan is to start work on SSA-8351 during the 2 week cutout and then lobby SSA for additional effort. DanaBalser and AllieCosta will meet to refine any requirements to be discussed at a future TTA meeting. CharlotteHausman stressed that we need specific requirements and a timeline before 4 April 2025.

ID Title Effort Priority Comments
SSA-8356 Add Y3 mode to the VLBA PST 3.5d Must Do  
SSA-8232 In Proposal creation, ask Proposers if AI was used in the creation of the proposal 1d Must Do  
SSA-8268 Update VLA Configuration Contraints for Joint ALMA-VLA Proposals 0.75d Must Do  
SSA-8351 Add new special call proposal type 15d Med-High Lengthy discussion about whether to accommodate the special calls by a DDT sub-type or to create a new proposal type. The latter is preferred but requries significant effort (15d). Adding a new DDT sub-type is only 3d effort, but this option may require signicant effort downstream which is hard to assess. We therefore agreed to creating a new proposal type instead.
