TDAMM Workshop follow-up: Unanswered questions, Attendee feedback, Next steps

Dear Colleagues, a heartfelt thanks to those of you who attended the Time Domain and Multimessenger Astrophysics (TDAMM) Workshop in August in Annapolis. This notice contains follow-up on three areas:

1. We were excited to have much enthusiasm and interest in the infrastructure session panel held on August 24. During the session, a number of the questions submitted remained unaddressed for lack of time. We collected them and the panel has now provided written responses on the question submission dashboard.
2. We are accepting feedback on the TDAMM workshop as well as future workshops like it. You can tell us your thoughts using this short form.
3. As discussed at the last day of the Workshop, the next step is to write a white paper with the workshop findings and deliver it to NASA Astrophysics leadership. Here is the tentative top-level timeline:
• As of today, we have completed a draft outline of the paper, and written the Introduction.
• The SOC will meet soon to review the paper outline and make writing assignments for the findings.
• We look forward to posting the complete draft by 5 November 2022 for the community to review and provide comments.
• The white paper should be finalized by mid-December 2022 and submitted to NASA headquarters astrophysics leadership by the end of that month.

Thank you again for all your help,

Jacob Slutsky on behalf of the TDAMM Workshop '22
