[Michael Fitzgerald]

Hi All - here are the action items and notes out of our (very productive) meeting with Ecliptic and Roccor yesterday.

To all team members - please make sure your NSPIRES profile is established and current by COB 11/07/18. Instructions are here: https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/aboutRegistration.do;jsessionid=pU7VvxuVf5okeUzEVGGDFC0KgQajeKe1XsIsri-Gunh4kDr1R5nY!-27841465!cassini3.nasaprs.com!7006!9008!36618162!cassini2.nasaprs.com!7006!9007

Please note your organization needs to approve your registration if not already signed up. You MUST be listed in the Step-1 proposal if you are to be included in Step-2.

I'm still combing through all the relevant documentation and am working on a proposal checklist with requirements and roles and responsibilities. I hope to have that out to the team by early next week. Have a great weekend!
