Below is a list of tasks in the approximate time order, with person(s) responsible, approximate amount of time required, and comments about the conditions or needs.  The time will, in most cases, be broken up into manageable chunks if needed, but given the extensive preparations and experience from the PREX run, we hope to expedite most of these tasks.  Differences could be when dealing with the target and higher beam currents, for example. After commissioning, we go into a regular production mode; we will provide an updated document webpage for shift worker instructions.

Several of the early tasks, including some beam restoration and low current commissioning, can be accomplished starting Nov 25.  During this time period, we expect to do Moller polarimetry measurements/commissioning with 1 pass and 5 pass beam.
