• Nov. 2020 - Dec. 2020
  • December 1: Skeleton of document defining initial set of topics and key questions available
  • December 16th, 15:00 CT: CompF1 meeting to discuss topics and outline of document.

Here is the list of submitted LOIs to this topical group. First index before “/” corresponds to the primary frontier used for the submission.

A draft of the CompF1 report can be found here. It contains an outline with the main topics as well as a preliminary executive summary that is aimed at summarizing CompF1s contribution to the final CompF report. Suggestions and contributions to the report are welcome.
