Hi David,

Mike should weigh in here as well if I've left anything out. But I think that we (the PO) need to make sure that Mark Coles is aware of the potential for misunderstanding when he says things like "ready to start construction". We will point this out to him next time we speak.

Our interpretation of "construction readiness", which is consistent with all of the FDR requirements laid out in the NSF Major Facilities Guide is summarize in Gustaaf's 2019-06-14-FDR-requirements.pdf file posted on CERNBox (pwd: US-Atlas-2019).

We're working on a simple summary of all this. The current *draft* is:
"Pre-MREFC R&D work has allowed the project to eliminate all technological risks and deliver designs and specs that could be placed for industry.  A number of deliverables are ready for pre-production; for others, production of a larger number of prototypes or components is needed to allow the integration tests needed to proceed to construction without excessive risk."

Comments on this are very welcome. We'll send around the final version as soon as we're happy about it.

Cheers  -  Hal

Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for sending this again. 

However, I don’t see a statement that refines the message made in Point #5 on page 1. In today’s discussion, we went over how this is “meant” to really refer to the overcoming of technical and technological hurdles, not that we are literally ready to begin construction (the phrasing from the PO in that discussion was much better than what I’ve repeated here). I thought that this was particularly useful and important. Do we have that more nuanced message somewhere in this word Doc, and I have just missed it?

Thanks,

David

Hi All,

I believe this went out to you some time back, but it may be worth sending this out again. It is notes from Mark Coles and Rebecca Yasky based on their attendance at the CMS Director’s Review. There may be some points that are relevant to your systems.
