are limited to 15 minutes. Out of respect for everyone’s time we will hold to the time limit; any deeper discussions can be held “off-line”. Presenters have been identified in the Agenda; those who are presenting should utilize the posted template(s). Note
this template also includes materials for Drilldowns, not all slides will be needed for all talks and, as usual, cost and schedule slides will be provided by the Project Controls Team.</span></p>

Approve Performance Baseline and CD-3 – Approve Start of Construction. It is not intended to demonstrate that we have reached baseline readiness but that we can achieve it in CY 2026. Messaging should be clear, fonts should be readable, presenters should project
confidence, and Summary slides should be positive and concise.</span></p>
