drafting APERTIF straw man surveys
Guiding principles:
‣ public, legacy-type surveys !
based on input from the community!
‣ collaborate, compromise, consolidate!
‣ be ambitious yet realistic!
‣ simplicity !
few observing modes, fixed pointing grid!
‣ staged delivery of data and science!
‣ maximum ancillary data availability!
‣ community involvement & commitment
