Most of the meeting was devoted to discussion of Aluminizing issues leading up to the acceptance testing runs starting July 6.

Tom reports that all of the machined parts for the multislit mask cassette mechanism have arrived from the machinists and look good. Various components will be assembled to validate fitting and see if any rework will be required.

Darren and Pat reported on the on-going contractual negotiations between OSU, Arizona, and NOAO regarding our TSIP grant. Most of these details are not yet ready for public consumption, but the plan is to have the final contract worked out by end of summer.
