The AC should confer with the O2 or DA, as appropriate, if there is a question on the content of the report. The AC should begin composing their own report early and maintain it throughout the shift, since they must concentrate on incorporation of the O2's contribution into the final report at the end of the shift. With about 30 minutes left in the shift, the AC should check with the DA and the O2 as to the status of their reports. The AC should coordinate with both the DA and O2 on this matter. Do not simply rename the temporary file as this will not change its creation time.
E-mail the final report to the OPUS.DIS distribution.
If a partially-edited report has a valid name, it may be mailed out prematurely. Most science data from HST is proprietary. The shift report can freely reference people, programmatic IDs, file rootnames, etc., involved in the science observations. Any shift report references that would compromise the GO's privileges concerning the scientific results of the observations must be carefully avoided. Do not include anything in the shift report that you have seen in the science data which may have scientific implications.
