Dear Colleagues,
   You have a L1 master milestone file, a project template, and worked 
examples for Project Office, Common Projects, and the Trigger. Jim Hanlon 
will post the linked subprojects on the US CMS server.
You have the subsystem cost ceiling based on assigning contingency to 
Common Projects. It remains to you to do the work! We must push ahead, as 
surely iterations are needed; contingencies will be adjusted and descoping 
WILL BE NEEDED.
  Working back from a MOU signing in April to a baselining review in March, 
the schedule  is very tight. You are responsible for the L2 work. Please 
let us know when you are ready for a PMG review, and make it as soon as 
possible.
  On another topic, there is a meeting in Washington Nov.10 with an agenda 
item concerning methods of funding universities. The Lehman review also 
advises US CMS management to adopt MPO. As mentioned already, I consider 
the MPO the default option, and funds will not be transferred in any case 
without a signed FY98 SOW. As L2 managers, you are responsible for 
establishing a work plan given your allocation, for vetting the SOW, and 
for passing them on for signature. To date I am underwhelmed with signed 
SOW.
  Looks to me like you'll be very busy in the next few months.
Cheers, Dan
