Hello all,

Here are some final comments:

6.4: looks good.   As a side note, CERN just asked if we can pay for the 
lpGBTs in ~May (as in the new LAr schedule, but inconsistent with the text in 
the VR).  Seems like they’re really tight on cash, but they’re willing to 
hold them for us.
6.4.1 is now fine
6.4.2:  how did the covid-related cost variance increase by $60k in January?  
(Compare the December and January CVs and VRs…) => I’ve unlocked this one.
6.4.3 looks fine

6.8 is still missing

6.10.2: I would not write "to cover a sabbatical” - maybe avoid that next 
month.

Best,

Gustaaf
