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)
