 === Notes === === Notes ===
  
-Discussion from last week of CAA Findings \\ +Discussion of status of report \\ 
-  *  have to look at the science impacts +  * Raphael put text in for inflation, non-Guassianity, ...  
-    start with sensitivity --- r is in "first place" scientifically +  * **Raphael will contact Levon and Vera to contribute text about primordial magnetic field and birefringence, respectively** 
-    * look at the high frequency bands +  * Question about the final formats of Figures 1 and 2; Shaul says: TBD 
-    different technology, science most affected is galactic +  * Question about our 2 \sigma values. Shaul suggest that Raphael will recalculate given the requirements and CBE, just so that we have the basic values, like we did many months ago. **Raphael agrees to calculate and circulate the values**. 
- +  Raphael points out that foreground subtraction performance from the foregrounds group still needs to come together and fold into the predictions.  
-  * what drives the cost of the spacecraft +  * Question: what noise values and what r is Clem using in his simulations. We would want to use the 'requirement' noise values and r near e-4 (or whatever value we will be quoting). **Shaul will communicate + clarify with Clem.**  
-     data rate +  Colin talks about his 'extragalactic' outline. Question: how to decide what to emphasize? Shaul: material in STM should be the guideline. Focus should be on highest level science objectives as listed in the STM. Also discuss breadth of science, but with less texts.  
-     spin rate +  * The key question is: are we happy with the science objectives as listed in the STM? We all agree about the reionization objective. Do we have one more? two more? **Nick and Colin will discuss and finalize the entry(ies?) in the STM. Colin will restructure the 'extragalactic' section to match the STM. Colin and Nick will insert an initial draft of the text. ** 
-     power for coolers +  Nick reminds us that the strengths of space are in the full sky coverage and the high frequencies which are important for foregrounds (and give resolution).  
-     coolers are half the cost of the instrument +  Laura describes the state with Galactic Science; good progress with the STM through iterations with Shaul and Amy. Folks are working on overleaf. 3 pg. material will be ported by the end of August.   
-     V-groove radiators --- honeycomb is massive, kapton-style lighter +  **Shaul will communicate with Gianfranco and request 2 pages for 'extra science'. Will also check with Douglas Scott to review**.  
- +  * **Shaul will communicate with Charles Lawrence and Marcel Schmittfull about 'complementarity'** 
-  * Shaul - get risk list from Amy +  * **Shaul will communicate with Jacques and Clem and Foregrounds** 
 +  * Systematics section is well along. Shaul is working with Brendan on the section.
