[Alumnos] [NGO-Argentina] Encuesta sobre el futuro del Observatorio Gemini

[Oficina Gemini Argentina]

Estimados Usuarios y no Usuarios de Gemini:

El Observatorio Gemini se está preparando para la próxima década 
(2022 en adelante). Por tal motivo,  está evaluando, y discutiendo, 
algunas pautas y  estrategias para el futuro donde propone posibles 
"escenarios de especialización" para Gemini Norte y Gemini Sur. Por tal 
motivo, invita a la comunidad de usuarios, y futuros  usuarios, a opinar o 
dar su acuerdo sobre este  futuro plan estratégico, contestando unas 
preguntas de la encuesta "Gemini strategic vision", disponible en el 
sitio:

http://www.gemini.edu/apps/geminiSurvey/

antes de fines de julio de 2016.

Desde ya, esperamos contar con su valiosa opinión, ya que es muy 
importante para nosotros considerar la futura participación de Argentina 
como socio en Gemini.

Un cordial saludo,

Oficina Gemini Argentina

The Strategic Vision Process

The Gemini Observatory starts focussing on the future, specifically on 
what Gemini will look like beyond the year 2020. The Gemini Board of Directors
has set up a Strategic Vision Committee, whose charge can be found on
Gemini’s website. In essence, the Strategic Vision identifies the
Observatory’s purpose, direction, and fundamental principles. It directly
addresses the role the Observatory will play beyond 2021 and considers a
variety of funding and partnership scenarios. By the end of this year, the
Strategic Vision will be in place. Along the way, we are seeking input,
through this survey, from the user community on how they see the way 
forward and what opportunities we should pursue. If you wish to provide 
input beyond this survey, please do not hesitate to send white papers to the Gemini
Director (mkissler en gemini.edu).
Once the Gemini Board approves the Strategic Vision, the Observatory will
develop a Strategic Plan. This detailed roadmap for reaching a preferred
future will be aligned with, and derived from, the Strategic Vision; it 
must encourage new opportunities, consider budget shifts, and examine the
changing landscape of astronomical facilities. Once the Board approves the
Plan, the Observatory will own it.

The Observatory will have until mid-2018 to prepare this Strategic Plan. 
The timeline conforms to the Assessment Point (within calendar year 2018)
executed by the Gemini Board, in accordance to the International Agreement
governing the Gemini Observatory. At the Assessment Point, our 
international partners will confer about the future of the Observatory and state their
intentions to remain in the Partnership.
The present survey is structured in two parts. Part one requests your
feedback on the principles put forward by the Gemini Board of Directors, 
as wel as by the Gemini Science and Technology Advisory Committee. Part two 
is seeking your feedback on potential specialization scenarios.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

For reference: Operational Guidelines: Observatory strategy during the
2016-2021 International Agreement. For the years beyond 2021, the
Observatory is currently developing both a Strategic Vision and a 
Strategic Plan. The charge to the Strategic Vision Committee was approved in Board
resolution 2015.B.10.
