Timeline. Please send any comments on the draft timeline (below) to DanaBalser.
CfP. A reminder that the VLA CfP must be finalized by 19 Dec (9am EST). BryanButler has asked MarkAdams to create a 17B template.
PST. RickLively has released items for testing on webtest. DanaBalser will test for the first round, except for Account items that will be tested by GarethHunt.
SRP Recruitment. After some discussion we agree that MarkClaussen will collect names from DavidFrayer and JayLockman and then email our external recruiter to comment asap. Once we converge then we will start recruiting. GarethHunt will send around the link to ALMA reviewers which are public for cycle 4. ToneyMinter noted that we really need a planetary expert (e.g., radar) on the SSP SRP since currently the panel only has one who is conflicted on most of the relevant proposals. Unfortunately the SSP has no vacancies but we could add an external member.
TAC Recruitment. LewisBall reported that Dominik Riechers has agreed to chair the TAC for 17B. Please send any names to fill the two TAC vacancies.
