12. 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 CoDR  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 2nd Subaru international conference

13. 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)
