| - | + | == Notes from Telecon with Roger Blandford (forwarded by Charles Lawrence) == | |
| + | |||
| + | At the just-completed astrophysics subcommittee meeting we got a little insight from Roger Blandford and John Huchra [Harvard; also an approved member of the survey panel] into the coming decadl process. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Blandford: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Will prioritize science to inform mission choices | ||
| + | |||
| + | Will work as fast as possible without compromising final report They are shooting for final report Spring 2010 | ||
| + | |||
| + | There will be a central committee with "a different suite" of panels | ||
| + | |||
| + | They will keep spokespersons for specific projects which are in play off of the central committee, but such advocates could be on the panels | ||
| + | |||
| + | "More people" | ||
| + | |||
| + | THey will distinguish science from missions and inclulde science interfaces to: physics, including fundamental physics [I think] planetary/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | JDEM will be reviewed and prioritized. | ||
| + | |||
| + | They expect to produce prioritized lists as part of the output: work to a range of budget scenarios be descriptive of possible contingencies/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Not keen on international representation on committees/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | In response to my question, Roger said that groups wishing to make presentations or submit white papers should target summer 2009 [seems a bit late to me] | ||
| + | |||
| + | In a separate discussion, Morse made it clear that he will push them to stay on the advertised schedule [impacts the 2011 budget] and that he expects the ASMCS teams [not HQ] to bring their project[s] to the attention of the decadal committee be a little more descriptive than past surveys of possible contingencies. | ||
