5-Year Plan Budget
The 5-year plans came in from the programs in a variety of forms. Shane & Tom tried to organize them in some similar format with a Core budget of ~$14M.yr and then a series of initiatives and opportunities that might be available with additional external funding. Sources of that funding are suggested.
Other CoCom Issues for the Board
-
There has been some confusion with permitting of flexible array experiments and their relationship to PBO & USArray. The BoD should discuss if/how to raise these issues with EarthScope.
-
The PASSCAL Standing Committee continues to be concerned about the awkward relationship between “Passcal” instrumentation and “EarthScope” instrumentation and their usage policies. The BoD should discuss if/how to pursue these concerns with EarthScope and NSF.
