  4. Is this the best task force arrangement? • Run campaigns driven in large part by high-level programmatic milestones • FY08 JOULE milestone influenced creation of a “thrust” on Rotation and Momentum Transport • Helpful in focusing effort in this area, optimizing run time and effort • Consider similarly motivated branching for the upcoming campaigns, based on joint facility milestones • FY09: Particle control and hydrogenic fuel retention • FY10: SOL heat transport • FY11: Pedestal predictive capability (joint facility/theory) • Other ideas for categorization? Slide 4 of ?
