The text of the Commissioning component of the UK’s in-kind proposal (that was accepted in full by LSSTC and SITCOM) is also included as Appendix 2, so as to set out the current status of thinking on the UK’s commissioning contribution. Colleagues are strongly encouraged to refer this appendix to gain a sense of how thinking has developed since submission of EoIs in 2020. Some of the key points of general interest in Appendix 2 include:
