To the PAC44 flagship spokespersons:

The Coordinating Committee has been discussing ways to make the best case to the PAC for all the proposals you are now preparing. To that end, we have some suggestions.

(1) Prepare a short, one-page, 'executive summary' of your run group proposal. This document would emphasize the physics motivations of the flagship experiment and how the other experiments in the run group add to and enhance that motivation. It would also include a summary of the experimental conditions including any 'special' requirements.

(2) Write a section of the run group proposal on the running conditions for the flagship experiment. You're likely doing this anyway. This section should include a clear description of the assumptions going into the run-time calculation. A summary table should be included. For guidance on what to include in this section see the entries in the new submission website at the following address.

https://misportal.jlab.org/pacProposals/proposals/new.

(3) After that part is done, create sections on any additional requirements for the other experiments (or get your collaborators to do this). For example, special runs like Moeller runs may be necessary for one of the non-flagship experiments. These 'additional requirements' for the non-flagship experiments should not need a large amount of additional beam time - no more than 20% beyond the beam request of the flagship experiment. The run group chair should approve the additional requirements. The goal here is to have a single place where the running conditions are described and justified for the lead experiment and separate sections on additional requirements for the remaining experiments.

(4) These additional sections should be reviewed by the same people reviewing the proposals. This should not be a large burden since the information should be part of the proposal anyway. We propose a deadline of May 25 for the flagship spokespersons to generate these new sections and send them to the appropriate review committees. The committees should read and evaluate these sections within a week and send they're recommendations to the flagship spokespersons by June 1. These timelines will give the spokespersons time to incorporate the committees recommendations by the June 6 due date for the proposals.

We realize these tasks may increase your work load over the next couple of weeks, but we think it will increase the chances of approval by the PAC. If you have questions or suggestions or need me to assist, please let me know.

Jerry and the CCC
