NEW BUSINESS

Continuing from Thursday...

1. Will encroaching space pressure for offices at Marsfield impact on computer/room access for visitor users, remote observers?
2. Does ATUC see an impact on the science outcomes planned for MNRF2, from delays in implementation of MNRF1 projects?
3. The SKA demonstrator science was discussed in December. Does ATUC have any comment on the decisions for the detailed capability and placement of the mini-stations, and what science projects should be developed around them?
4. Is continuing pressure for the timely release of the next observing schedules a reason to suggest that someone other than the OIC take on scheduling for both Parkes and ATCA?
5. Is ATUC happy with the RFI mitigation plan and its implementation at the Observatories?
6. Is there an intrinsic problem with finding good cm swap projects for mm projects? Will this have an impact on flexible scheduling?
7. Is there a need for a queue listing to be formed for processing of archive data at ATCA? Are careless astronomers using the archive request inappropriately?
8. What are the next major science goals for Parkes - now that the big surveys are finishing; what impact will such choices have on instrument plans?
9. What will be the impact on Mopra of external time requests for winter 2003?
