=== Notes ===

  * TeamX Slides: 
    * Shaul suggests that subset of EC will review the TeamX slides. The goal is to fix and flag issue that may jump out for SOMA. 
    * Are TeamX slides going to the decadal panel? Shaul thinks not, but the decadal can request them.
    * Jamie, Al suggest to add 'heritage' slides to the TeamX slides to increase SOMA's confidence 
    * Bill will review the SVIT slides; Al, Jamie, Shaul will review the entire set
    * We will review comments by next week
  * Report: 
    * Two different audiences: the cost estimators and the decadal panel. Balance is difficult. 
    * Shaul suggested using additional narrative together TeamX slides to add material for SOMA. 
    * Galactic science 5 pages is too long; Al, Jamie suggest to reduce to 3, and augment the 'mission' page allocation.
