                TODAY'S ISSUE:  Deadline for RFMR - November 18/92
______________________________________________________________________________
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

November  18,  1992  is  the  next  submission    deadline  for  Requests  for
Manufacturing Resources (RFMRs).  If you are from a university licensed by CMC
for the CMOS4S technology and you want the chance  to  guarantee  space on the
January 1993 run you should complete and return an RFMR  form, appended below,
now.    You can also take this opportunity to apply for  space  on  subsequent
CMOS4S  runs.    Results of all RFMR submissions received will be notified  to
applicants  by  Friday,  November 27, 1992 - whether the submission is for the
November  run  or a subsequent CMOS4S run.  All RFMR's will be acknowledged by
e-mail to confirm receipt.  

If you do not receive e-mail confirmation, please contact Lynda Moore by:

                          Telephone:  (613) 545-2914
                          Fax:        (613) 548-8104
                          E-mail:     <moore@cmc.ca>

If you  miss the RFMR deadline you will still have a chance to secure space on
the run by  applying  for  either Pay-for-Implementation (PFI) or for space in
the  Last Minute Club  (LMC).    Except  where  special  circumstances  apply,
applications  to  the  Last Minute  Club  will  be  queued  on  a  first-come,
first-serve basis.  LMC and PFI  applications should be submitted on a Request
for  Implementation  (RFI) form, and will be  accepted  any  time  up  to  and
including January 20, 1993. 

A full explanation  of  the  RFMR,  Pay-for-Implementation and Last Minute Club
arrangements  can  be  found    in    ICI-041  "Allocation  of  Limited  Access
Manufacturing Resources - CMOS4S".   This report includes copy of the RFMR form
and is available electronically via AIM, AIM reference number RE0153. 

If you need any advice on the allocation  arrangements or on the completion  of
the RFMR form please contact:
