It looks like an good time for the SAC telecon is 2:00p EST, Thurs 28 Jan.
I hope we can wrap it up in 90 minutes, but everyone who responded
will be free until 4:00p EST, so if  we run over slightly, that should 
be o.k.

Haven't heard from Alycia, Laird or Edo, so I've added their names to 
this mailing explicitly in case there was a problem with the mail list.

Including Mario's agenda item suggestion, I propose the following
agenda:

- A revised port plan.
- Status of/planning for/subscription to  f/5 - ASz
- Status of/planning for of FIRE - Paul or Rob
- Status of/planning for 4star - Eric
- The future of MAGIC
- Status of PISCO
- M2FS
- AO status  
 Suggestion concerning additions, deletions or re-shuffles are welcome.

Cheers,
ASz

Please find attached my best synthesis of what was said at the
telecon regarding the port plan. Instruments about which there is
some debate and uncertainty are in parens. I agree with Ian that is
is dangerous peer too far into the future, but still include a 2012A
to indicate what the asymptotic configures might be.

A few notes from the meeting:

- The SAC and user community in general are owed a report on
the outcome of the MMIRS first light run. ASz
to brief the SAC at the face to face.

- At the next face-to-face we should discuss preallocation of
f/5 time. ASz action.

-  ASz will canvass CfA f/5 team to determine how long Megacam
and MMIRS will stay at Magellan this visit.

- Mark P. has agreed to lead discussion of the future of MAGIC at the
face to face.

- Mark P. to lead discussion of future of LDSS3 at next face to face.

- Mario promises detailed briefing at next facr to face.

- Alan U. will engage PISCO team and prepare brief for next face to face.

Cheers,
ASz
