Topics for Exec Group to discuss:

Enhancing UK engagement with LSST Science Collaborations

...

1. Use of LSST:UK collaboration resources:
   1. The relevant section of the SWG space on this Confluence wiki site can be used to collect material for and from the workshop.;
   2. The LSST:UK GotoMeeting videoconferencing system can be used to support remote attendance at of the workshop proposals for workshops, meetings, and other programs to prepare foby up to nine people; and
   3. A JISCMail emailing list can be set up to support the group, if one doesn't already exist.
2. Financial support from LSST:UK:
   <George to add some text here>
3. Financial support from LSST Corporation: LSSTC has recently issued its 2017 Enabling Science Call for "proposals for workshops, meetings, and other programs to prepare for LSST data."

Applications for financial support

The deadline for applications for the LSSTC call is Monday, December 19, 2016 by midnight (2400 hours) PST - i.e. 08.00 GMT on Tuesday, December 20th - so we shall use the same deadline for applications for LSST:UK funding. LSSTC applications should be emailed in PDF format, as described in the
