PARTICIPANTS
1. Indiana U: Fox, Pierce, Gannon, Plale, Pearson
2. UC-Davis: Rundle, Kellogg, Turcotte, Ludaescher
3. UC-Irvine: Grant
4. USC: McLeod
5. UMinn: Yuen
6. Northwestern: Stein, Okal -- Are they confirmed as full participants?
7. UC-Santa Cruz: Ward (either subcontract to UC-Davis or as full participant).

BASIC
1. Need a final list of all institutions, PIs, and Co-Is (see above)
2. Need a name from each institution who will handle the Fastlane submissions, budgets, etc.
	DONE
3. Need to make sure that each institution sets up the collaborative proposal Fastlane stuff correctly.

PER INSTITUTION FASTLANE SUBMISSIONS
0. These all go in separately in the collaborative submission. We just need to make sure that 
we have a contact person from each instituion. 
1. Need 2-page NSF CVs from each PI/Co-I.  This is handled by each institution.  Use a common format.  This
should focus on relevant research and publications.
2. Current and pending support
3. Budgets and justification: these should match the proposal below (see below)

BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS
1. Must budget "International Awareness" (see section).
2. Must budget travel.  Should be substantial.
3. Must budget workshops, but in US and internationally.  Host can rotate.(Need to Discuss)

LETTERS OF SUPPORT
1. Need to make sure that we have the agreed-upon short list, with a person responsible for each letter.
2. Must get specific letters from key people (like Andrea).  These should focus on what the group will 
   contribute.
3. This should connect to table of resources that will be in the proposal.
4. Need Summary List and CV's for Collaborators
	CV's MUST be NSF Style
5. Needs details of 3 designated representatives from Australia, China, Japan

INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS
1. Each participant needs to provide a short description (~1 page) of how they will build international awareness.
2. Should cover university's education strategy.
3. We will make a table of these for the proposal.
4. Should be reflected in the budget justification.

OUTREACH STRATEGY
1. Meetings and travel: rotating (6 month?) US meeting of members.
2. 1-2 year international meetings.
3. Must budget.

1. Intro: 2 pages
2. Science Background: 2 pages
3. ACES background: 1 page 
4. New Partnerships: 2 pages.  This should have the contributions table for resources.
5. Proposed research: 6 pages
