Nikko 2019: Time Domain Astronomy in the Era of Massively Multiplexed
Astronomy
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday: February 8, 2019
	Agenda: Meeting of PIs ("senior" astronomers)
	Location: Kavli IMPU, Seminar Room A (ground floor)
	Time: 1000-1500

1000    Introduction & Presentations (MMS, New Missions)
	We hope that all participants have done their homework and
	read up the bio sketches.  So introduction will be rapid
	(<1 minute per person).

	In order to simplify logistics the "Facilities"
	book will be projected (so speakers need not prepare any
	presentations). There will be no change of computers.
	
	We will kick off the meeting with presentations of MMS and
	new space projects. Each project is given 15 minutes divided
	as presentations (10 minutes) and questions (5 minutes).

1300-1500 Rapid presentation of TDA facilities
	It is assumed that all participants have read up the
	Facilities book. PIs are welcome to present a few (<=3)
	slides. Questions are encouraged ("what is the real status?",
	"are you looking for new investments?", "are you looking
	for collaborations and if so in what areas?"). A total of
	10 minutes has been allocated per presentation (including
	discussion).

	Senhime Hotel.  You will have breakfast at your own hotel

	During the course of the dinner each participant is expected
	to stand up and say a few words, preferably wise & witty.
	It is a Shri+Japanese custom. Young people should particularly
