-=== Publications update request ===
+=== Annual Request to Update Publication Record ===
-June 30 deadline.
+**Please send Nancy any references for 3.5m-related publications (anything published from Jan 1 2023 to now). The deadline is June 30.** Understanding the scientific usage and impact of the telescope is critical for evaluating future projects, initiatives, instrument concepts, etc., thus we need your help in updating our publication record! We are now participating in a cross-observatory analysis of scientific impact of ground-based telescopes, so it is especially important that we capture all publications resulting from APO observations. Any publications resulting from ARCSAT data are also requested. The listing should include refereed publications and student theses and dissertations (not conference abstracts unless they are peer reviewed) that made use of data acquired with the 3.5m and/or ARCSAT, published from 2023 to the present. If a paper has been submitted to a journal but has not yet completely gone through the review process, please include that as well, with the name of the journal and “submitted.”

 Open action items from previous meetings:
   * Nancy: get ROM costs for new KOSMOS grisms. UPDATE: We are in the process of putting together some quotes and working with vendors, and will make decisions from there. We will use examples that had been requested by users previously in order to get quotes so we have some idea of what will be possible. STATUS: OPEN.
-  * UC reps: remind your users that observers must respond to reminder emails at least 24 hours in advance.

-Web site work. Shane has created whole separate server, modern front end with database driven apps on the back end. Long road porting everything over.Including some new capabilities (with potential for more) - close enough now so we can provide link to new site so people can check it out at next UC meeting.
+Ben Williams provided an update regarding work being done to develop a new APO web site. Shane has created a whole separate web site with a more modern front end and database-driven apps on the back end. It has been time consuming to port all of the existing web site content over, which was the first step, and then evaluating how to improve the user experience and remove redundant or unnecessary information. We are getting close to the point where we will be ready to seek broader feedback on the new web site from the user community; we are aiming to provide the link to new site at the next Users Committee meeting so people can check it out and provide feedback.
