Hello Wlodek, Fleming, Tim, and Bill--We are trying
very hard to get the spinplan to you so that the
experimenters can weigh in, beyond those writing it.
As you know, we are committed to completing the
document in time for the budget briefing Feb. 15 at
DOE for the BNL management.

I expect that the document will be in very good shape
by then, but the difficulty is in getting sufficient
time for experiment feedback.

The plan is still in a too early draft stage for the
science and experiment sections, so we would like to
distribute the other sections now and distribute the
science and experiment sections Tuesday morning.

Yuji Goto will place the "completed" sections on the
web in the spin discussion page section, and give you
the location on Saturday.  This will have
--report from the DOE review (which requested the
	spin plan)
--charge from Tom Kirk (we should emphasize that in
	considering 10 and 5 spin weeks per year we are
	responding to the charge, and also not changing
	the beam use proposal approach to setting the
	actual schedule)
--executive summary (this is a draft, but has been in
	place for 4 weeks--the main issue for me here
	is how to present the various upgrades, so this
	is important for everyone) There are 3 figures
	on gluon, W, and schedule that are not in place
	(the schedule figure is already in the
	accelerator section)
--accelerator section (this is complete)
--spin schedule (draft but only small things to
	complete)
--summary (complete)
