Big Delay !

• There is a big delay 1 year
• Cause
• Additional quality control of data was required
• Very little participation from the community
• Lately things have warmed up (last 2 months)
• Several groups have submitted results of step 1
• Several groups have contacted us indicating they
  are currently working on the experiment
• A new timeline has been proposed
• Submitted for approval to the GLASS meeting in
  Japan
• If no additional participation will go ahead with
  the 9 models already working.
