Hi NSF Scope L2 managers,

The first “annual” (April 1, 2020 – Sept 30, 2020) report to the NSF is 
due in draft form to NSF by Sept 22. I would like about a week to 
compile your report information before sending the draft, *_so I would 
like to get your report before COB September 15_*.

The nature of this Annual Report is different from the typical monthly 
report and in fact will take the place of the September report. So 
please work with your Institutional Contacts to provide a narrative for 
your L2 subsystem that includes:

  * 1-2 pages at most of narrative
  * Your narrative needs to include
      o a summary of work accomplished during the reporting period
        (4/1/20-9/30/20), including major scientific and technical
        accomplishments by subawardees for your NSF scope. (Do not worry
        about the financial information as I will compile that from our
        records).
      o a brief overview of the accomplishments and plans of the
        international ATLAS program for your subsystem.
      o a recommendation for any materials and tooling to be retained to
        support future operation of the detector, and recommendations
        for custodianship of these items – I suspect there isn’t a lot
        on this item for this first report because there probably isn’t
        much in the way of materials and tooling (maybe some test
        stands?). But if there is, please include that and I will
        compile it into a table once I have them all.

Thanks, Mike for the PO
