You are receiving this email because you are currently listed as a team coordinator on the wiki [2]. We would like each of you to make a short report on your team by email to the iaep list by 9 September and plan to attend the next scheduled SLOBs meeting, 16 September. Below [3] is an outline prepared by John Tierney that may serve to guide you in preparing your report. I am aware that some of you are no longer active in your roles. In those cases, could you please send me some names of possible replacements as team coordinators. Also, in some cases, the teams themselves are perhaps obsolete. This will be one of the discussion topics on the 16th. Note that Sebastian Silva will be contacting the local labs on behalf of the oversight board. Looking forward to hearing from you.
