Good afternoon everyone,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please forward this email to all interested parties.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I email you all as the Australian ESO Users Committee representative.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I forward below an email from ESO regarding the treatment of successful P105 proposals. ESO has decided that observations lost during P105 would not be compensated even for A-ranked programs. Successful P105 PIs are asked to resubmit their proposal
with the mention that they were successful in P105 (see details in the email below). This does not apply to large programs, which will be carried over. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Given that the UC poll has already closed, I am keen to hear your thoughts on this decision, or indeed any aspect of your ESO user experience by private email. The ESO Users Committee meeting is coming up on 29-30 April, so please do send me any
concerns so I may best represent your views at this year’s meeting.</div>

<div class="">Clear skies!</div>

<div class="">Best, Caroline</div>
