<div>Hi Jess,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Okay, I understand this may take more time, but please do not let and end of the week deadline slip as I want to give the review team adequate time to look over what you send. I received a request from one of the site review team members (listed as 1
and 2 below) and would like you to consider this as you complete your report. The requests are only suggestions, though since a team member is generating these questions, I think it is safe to assume they will be asked at some point during the review. The
format in which you present the information is up to you, but I do think it would be good to address the questions. I certainly will make time to have a conference call with your team after I return on the 13th. If you have a day and time in mind, let me
know.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Lou</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Lou,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just sent a draft of the progress report to our Management Committee this morning, so we can't make the deadline for tomorrow. Would you please consider submission by the end of the week?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have drafted the report for the Site Science with some context, but largely as a series of bullet points directed at the workplans under each hypothesis, a description of any changes that have been made to the workplans, and a brief description of key
results achieved so far. Do you think this will be sufficient? The details of the results so far will be presented at the Site Review and the team will receive copies of the presentations in advance of their travel along with other details.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would appreciate it if we could schedule a meeting between you and the MC once you return on the 13th to review final details of the visit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
