All users are encouraged to submit their proposals asking for visitor observations in next periods.<\/li>\n<li>The new web-based Phase 2 is now operational in visitor mode.

It includes an\u00a0eavesdropping capability that is planned for P100 (see the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eso.org\/public\/about-eso\/committees\/uc\/uc-41st\/UC41_LPO_Operations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Report on La Silla Paranal<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>ESO is working on a new concept for Phase 1 (no latex file, web-based).

Only in very exceptional cases, if a close-to-total loss (&gt;2\/3 of the total program time) occurs for technical reasons, compensation may be considered by the Director\u201d<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>There are two reports which the UC has been asked to comment on.

If you also want to comment on the original documents, do not hesitate to contact me at any time for having access to the full text\u00a0documents.<\/li>\n<li>ESO\u00a0has declined to make the abstracts of approved La Silla and Paranal proposals public: \u201cT<em>his recommendation was discussed with the Director General and the Director for Science. They are not in favour of proceeding along the line proposed by the UC, because it gives an unfair competitive advantage to non-ESO astronomers with access to fast-turnaround time on e.g. Gemini and Keck. No compelling arguments were provided as to why it is important to anticipate the release of the abstracts, given the above concern.
