Continuing from Thursday...
- Will encroaching space pressure for offices at Marsfield impact on computer/room access for visitor users, remote observers?
- Does ATUC see an impact on the science outcomes planned for MNRF2, from delays in implementation of MNRF1 projects?
- The SKA demonstrator science was discussed in December. Does ATUC have any comment on the decisions for the detailed capability and placement of the mini-stations, and what science projects should be developed around them?
- Is continuing pressure for the timely release of the next observing schedules a reason to suggest that someone other than the OIC take on scheduling for both Parkes and ATCA?
- Is ATUC happy with the RFI mitigation plan and its implementation at the Observatories?
- Is there an intrinsic problem with finding good cm swap projects for mm projects? Will this have an impact on flexible scheduling?
- Is there a need for a queue listing to be formed for processing of archive data at ATCA? Are careless astronomers using the archive request inappropriately?
- What are the next major science goals for Parkes - now that the big surveys are finishing; what impact will such choices have on instrument plans?
- What will be the impact on Mopra of external time requests for winter 2003?
- Does ATUC have a comment on the format of the inaugural VLBI report, separately presented at this meeting?
- New members suggestions for the AT Steering Committee
- Format and date for next meeting.
- Report to Director
