Agile will be back in Q1 and people can request it (but see above re: needing a backup instrument). DIS will be offered in shared-risk mode only during Q1 as there are no plans to service it in Q4. UC reps: please notify your users that we are beginning to plan for the decommissioning of DIS. Anyone with questions or concerns should notify their Users Committee representative as we will be discussing this at future UC meetings.

 Open action items from previous meetings: Open action items from previous meetings:
-  * Nancy: get ROM costs for new KOSMOS grisms. Sarah reported that she has a finalized quote from one vendor. The grism design turns out to be a little complicated, but also, costs have gone up, so these are more expensive than we expected (ballpark $20k apiece). Therefore, we need to explore potential funding sources. Nancy will amass all previous emails with grism requests and send to UC reps to query users about whether there is broad interest in a particular grism. This could help identify funding sources, either individually or collaboratively. STATUS: OPEN.+  * Nancy: get ROM costs for new KOSMOS grisms.

The grism design turns out to be a little complicated, but also, costs have gone up, so these are more expensive than we expected (ballpark $20k apiece).

This could help identify funding sources, either individually or collaboratively. STATUS: OPEN.
   * Nancy: Ensure that a short description of the impact of satellites be posted on the APO website somewhere and updated every 6 months or so. Nancy received examples of this issue from Anne Verbiscer and will get something added to the current (and new) web site.
