   * What is the overarching goal: consensus that it is to persuade the decadal to establish a funding wedge. Keith says that the previous decadal was not convinced that there was good science to be done within this funding wedge.    * What is the overarching goal: consensus that it is to persuade the decadal to establish a funding wedge.

   * The Decadal panel is mandated by congress to solicit an ICA, hence the Cost and Technical Evaluation (CATE) process. They contracted with Aerospace Corp. to do the CATE. 2010 was the first time Aerospace was involved. Since then process refined.    * The Decadal panel is mandated by congress to solicit an ICA, hence the Cost and Technical Evaluation (CATE) process.

TeamX and Aerospace are very similar. **Keith doesn't know much about SOMA's; will check.** +  * Question: do the JPL (TeamX), SOMA, and Aerospace cost models agree?

If delensing is required to reach the r target, it should be self-delensing. //   * Began discussion about resolution. // Consensus: space mission can not depend on other measurements, e.g. ground measurements for delivering it's main science targets.
