 Focus over the recent period has been on writing our 50 pg report. It is due to NASA by the end of Dec. 2018. NASA will forward this report to the Decadal Panel. If you would like to contribute by generating forecasts or writing sections of the report please contact one of the Sections' leaders listed below. We may also ask some of you to review specific sections. Focus over the recent period has been on writing our 50 pg report. It is due to NASA by the end of Dec. 2018.

 When the report is mature we will circulate a final draft and you will have an opportunity to CoSign before it is submitted to NASA. When the report is mature we will circulate a final draft and you will have an opportunity to CoSign before it is submitted to NASA.

 As you may know, there is a project-independent effort ongoing to write and submit Science White Papers to the Decadal Panel.   The deadline is in early January. This effort transcends PICO, CMB-S4, or other specific projects. Hence, the PICO report is separate. We expect that NASA will forward the PICO report to the Decadal Panel in conjunction with delivery of other project-related white papers in mid-2019. As you may know, there is a project-independent effort ongoing to write and submit Science White Papers to the Decadal Panel.   The deadline is in early January.

-Instrument Update +__Instrument Update__

 The architecture of the instrument hasn't changed since early summer. We now have a final required specifications and final best case performance estimate (also known as 'goals'). The one number summary is that the required depth is 0.87 uK*arcmin, and goal is 0.61 uK*arcmin, both are for full sky coverage. The architecture of the instrument hasn't changed since early summer.

 Our colleagues at JPL will finalize the mission's engineering documents by the end of October. Some of the contributions will enter into the report, others will accompany the report as a set of slides. As reported in the past, the mission is costing within the $1B cap, with some margin. Our colleagues at JPL will finalize the mission's engineering documents by the end of October.
