Hello all,

First, it would be very much appreciated if variance reports could be filled 
in a timely way.  The deadline to file these is the 23rd of the month and 
having to run after people every month is a waste of our time.  Please set a 
reminder in your calendar.

A few comments about the February variance reports that have been filed:

-6.4, 6.4.2 and 6.4.3 are missing

-6.4.1: please say what fraction of the schedule variance is due to the rad 
board delay (quantifying this is required), and also explain the other 
sources - the UT Austin delay is only ~1/3 of the schedule variance.  Please 
pay attention and don’t say things that are manifestly wrong ("is driven by 
Austin”).

-6.5: the 6.5.1 delay leaves $130k unexplained.  I realize the other two are 
each below $100k, but together they are above, so maybe a sentence that says 
ELMB production and LVPS pre-production are delayed is useful, and then have 
an impact statement saying there’s plenty of float for those?

-6.5.1 is good

-6.6: all reports look good to me

-6.8, 6.8.2 and 6.8.4 are missing

-6.8.3 is good

Thx
