Notes on initial rough draft of white paper contribution  June 1, 2007
   --------------------------------------------------------

* Final draft is not due until late in the summer, but LIGO Program
  Advisory Committee (PAC) wants to see early draft of white paper.
  Deadline for early draft: June 7, 2007

* White paper will be provided to PAC and NSF review panel(?) to guide
  the review of submitted LIGO-related proposals

* Important to identify research that is important to LSC success,
  including areas where more attention is needed

* Names of institutions doing work are not listed

* Will move the present draft to CVS-accessible area on UWM cluster
  in the .../dac/whitePaper/ directory to enable updates by
  working group leaders (please notify me of changes, though!)

* Present DetChar draft is an updated version of draft put together
  two years ago but never used - may be too long

* Should DetChar materal be a chapter in data analysis white paper
  or a separate stand-alone document?

* Don't read present posted draft carefully yet! Will post a revised
  draft for comment later today
