<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">[Editor’s note – this is *<b>even later</b>* than the message below implies, as the mailing list rejected the large attachments; so re-sending tonight with links to the files instead of attachments!]

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Apologies for the delay in getting these materials out to you. And, frankly, for waiting so long to have this meeting! We’ve had a great year in the project making lots of progress, but it’s
also been pretty busy! </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">I have attached two documents for your reference/perusal, should you have time. One is the slides for tomorrow – if you don’t have time to look at them in advance, fear not, I will go through
them all in agenda item 1 tomorrow – but if you can’t make the call (and a couple of you can’t, I know) it will let you know some of the highlights of the last few months. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The second document is our annual report from *<b>last</b>* year as submitted. This year’s report is not due for another month or so, so it’s still in preparation; I’ll send along a draft when
completed (and, btw, we have our annual visit from NSF in about two months time, so still a little time to fix a few things if you have advice). In discussions, some of you said you’d like to see these reports; let me just warn you that the format is (over)specified
by NSF, so the narrative describing what the project actually *<b>does</b>* starts on the 23<sup>rd</sup> page of the PDF </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Apple Color Emoji";color:black">☺</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">.
Fortunately, there are many pages of quality tables for the performance management system for you to enjoy before that. . . </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
