Re: [Hess-ap] Legacy Program: next steps

Dear Stefan, during today's AP-call a discussion about the best form to provide all necessary information that would allow an educated evaluation of the legacy proposals and science topics as a whole resulted in the following: Each AWG convener will prepare a general proposal containing the larger view and all rankings (sources, science topics) of the bullet-point science topics (as listed on the Legacy Program confluence page). Such general proposal has been already uploaded by the SNR/PWNe-WG and Stellar-WG. The deadline for providing such general proposal is naturally constrained by the time line of the proposal selection procedure (see below). For many of the individual science topics also dedicated proposals providing more details have been uploaded. In case details are still missing on any of the listed topics and which would be required for an educated evaluation/proposal screening, this missing information shall be provided by the AWG-conveners (via their WG) during the selection process. We hope this forms a good basis for the next steps that shall bring the legacy program to life. The next steps are now the legacy proposal selection procedure and its time line. Re-calling from our discussion during the Sep AP-meeting, joint AP-EC and joint EC-OC meetings to exchange views are foreseen here. Could you please provide - dates and time line for these meetings (taking into account that preparation time is needed for the meeting participants), - a more exact procedure that is envisioned. This would help not only to set the deadline for the general proposals (see above) but also to clarify many of the questions that are still in the air on this subject. Kind regards, Anita (for the AWG-conveners)
