All Issues Feedback Session
Moderator: Rich Strand
Notes: Mike Poirier

1.Concern about attaining IVS 2010 goals with current budget 
projections.
2."Customs Issues" with some stations. Possible data loss due 
to delays.
3.Dewar replacement parts availability? New development S/X 
front end?
4.Observing schedule prevents maintenance at some stations.
5."Track" Not being used by all correlators for shipment.
6.Mark5 Western Digital Discs. In or Out of disc pool?
7.Master Schedule: updates should be announced. Confirmation of 
changes needed.
8.Some stations have excessive idle time in schedules.
9.Concerns. When a station reports to be down long before the 
session begins (1 week). There are no changes to the schedule 
therefore leaving the station in the solution. This is then 
reflected in the correlation report as no fringes to that 
station. This loss of data is then reflected in the yearly 
performance chart at TOW and IVS. With the internet, there 
should be enough time to modify the schedule to remove the 
failed station and supply new schedules.
10.Larger lab area for some presentations at TOW.
11.On some schedules the last tape has only a few minutes of 
recording time.
12.Mark5 implementation rushed and confusing for users. Better 
communication needed between Mark5 group and Field System 
group. Confusion between Mark5 commands and FS commands. 
Operators interface with the Mark5 through the FS.
