Early next spring there will be a document ready for the full CAB's review. The 35 newer items include some fairly large cluster items. Pat will write up the process for allocation rules. Zhizhang asked for clarification of departmental allottment. Henry brought up the confusion over which clusters are closed and which are open.
More clusters mean more security and maintenance issues.
This will be on agenda for February's meeting. Henry presented a motion to use the current criteria as a basis for this year's proposals, and to visit the idea of a changing scope before the next round of proposals. McGarry seconded and the motion passed. Ned will write a note to Minot asking him to sit on this committee, or to find a replacement if he cannot do it. The next regularly scheduled CAB meeting is February 4 at 2pm in HUB 109.
