GW observations will stop Jan 16 and restart in March with all three major interferometers (incl. Virgo)
SVOM launch date has been fixed to June 24, 2024 (commissioning phase expected to last 2-3 months)
Einstein Probe was launched successfully on Jan 9; will distribute alerts but timescale is unclear
IceCube-240105A (relatively low significance Pastro=30% neutrino event) possibly correlated with flaring activity of PKS 0446+11 (GeV flare is already over + redshift z=2.153 => no H.E.S.S. ToO)

Next WG meeting scheduled for Jan 29
Paper on FRB follow-up program is advancing well, internal review process expected to start in February
GRB catalog paper advancing; delayed to due to missing HAP analyses (influenced by MPIK IT crash)
Paper on IceCube neutrino follow-up delayed due to absence of key person (job changes, PhD thesis finalizations, etc.)
