Dear All:

Before closing the meeting on Friday we reviewed the membership of the 
other seven teams beside the science team, and appointed team leaders.
In some cases those appointed have yet to indicate their acceptance of
the appointments, so the following information must be regarded as
provisional in those cases (marked *).  That said, here are the results
of the exercise.

Optics:
D. Steele (leader), M. Huber, E. Ivanov, G. McDougall, M. White

Mechanical: 
J Bugg (leader), A. Dolovich, J. Steele

Electrical / GPS / Firmware: 
R. Bolton (leader *), J. Giesbrecht, G. McDougall, R. Srinivasan, M.
Stocki

Onboard Data Handling:
R. Srinivasan (leader *), R. Bolton, J. Giesbrecht, J. Steele

Ground-based Data Handling:
A. Dolovich (leader), A. Smolyakov, C. Soteros, R. Srinivasan, J. Steele

Risk / Reliability:
R. Bolton (leader *), R. Srinivasan, M. Stocki, H. Wood

Management Plan:
J. Chan, D. Harris, S. Koustov, D. Sniezek (leader TBD)

Those who have yet to indicate team preferences are H. Caplan and J. 
Offiong.

The above teams are subject to revision in the event that certain teams
need additional strength to complete their work.

I would ask the team leaders to contact the members of their teams and 
arrange the commencement of the teams' work.  Please contact me for any
information you may require.

As mentioned on Friday, we do not yet have a decision on a vehicle.  The
BB VI would offer us the advantages of a larger, Canadian vehicle, but
availability is not known (to us).  The smaller, American-made Super
Arcas would be the second choice.  As soon as I receive word from
Bristol Aerospace on the BB VI I will pass it on via e-mail, together
with what information I have then on size, mass, altitude and telemetry
constraints.

Sincere thanks to the science team members for their hard work to get us
started!  Although it may seem like we have more questions than we
started with, I believe we're in very good shape.

I will let you all know on Wednesday whether a plenary meeting is
required on Friday. At the least, the PI and team leaders will have to
meet, inasmuch as Friday will be October 4th, the date of our first
review.  I will keep you posted.

Dave
