Coming Instrument Status Suprime-Cam with full depletion layer CCDs Hi. CIAO Strategic observing proposal under review at SAC AO 188 Risk shared use of NGS from S 08 B FMOS Continue testing Hyper Suprime-Cam Conceptual Design Review and fabrication WFMOS Gemini-Subaru WFMOS Workshop Continue discussion with Gemini

Major Issues in 2008 Keep steady operations and outcomes Telescope Control System (SOSS) on new hardware (June) Begin fabrication of Hyper Suprime-Cam with successful Co. DR Conclude MOUs with Princeton Univ and ASIAA Continue time exchange with Gemini and Keck Gemini-Subaru-JSPS Workshop on WFMOS (May 19 -22) Organize the 2 nd Subaru international conference

Some Minor Remarks Please send an e-mail to Science Operation Division Chief terada (@naoj. org) with CCs to nishimura and masa if you ask to add or change targets. We ask all the MOIRCS MOS users to provide time (~1 hour) to take pre-images for the next MOS users. We will consult this issue with SAC soon. No TOO for Keck-Subaru exchanged time (5 nights)
