Please note that the first page is the "Summary" called for in the outline. The remainder (which is supposed to be limited to 5 pages) is the main body of the pre-proposal. I have used some figures given to me by Keith Bedford and some I took from a CCM PSE briefing, plus I had some written inputs from UT. Other than that, I tried to at least lay out a template and an outline. As you can see, we are already over on page count, and most of you have not even given inputs yet. I suggest that we NOT do each approach, background, etc. by school, but that we simply say what we are going to do, how we are going to do it, and how we will pull it off with five (or six) institutions involved. (Geoffrey, I could use some guidance on what to say about FSU/Syracuse.) Anyway, please take a look at this and start making suggestions for improvement. I will be here at OSC through most of the day on Friday, then I fly back to Austin. We will have printed copies to talk about at our meeting on Monday.
