The ESA XMM-Newton Users group will be meeting NEXT week in Spain. To
submit information/feedback to them via U.S. members
Richard Griffiths or Richard Mushotzky, please send email to:
xmmhelp@lists.nasa.gov

*******************************************************************

4) *****  AO Funding Final Reports

This is a reminder that holders of XMM-Newton GO grants are obligated
to submit final reports at the end of the grant period.  Instructions
for doing so are contained in the grant package and at:

http://heasarcdev.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xmm/docs/grant-report.html

Please note that there is a standard form which must be used for the
submission which can be found at the above web site.

*******************************************************************

5) *****  XMM News E-mail Address Migration final notice

We apologize for the multiple emails you may receive; NASA is
consolidating to a single email list system. The XMM News email
exploder will soon migrate after this edition of the newsletter over
to the new NASA list manager. The online subscription form will still
work, but if you have spam filtering in place the emails will now be
coming from:

xmmnews@lists.nasa.gov

So please add that or *lists.nasa.gov to your allow list if needed.

Also, with the changeover you will receive a confirmation email which
includes details on how to unsubscribe or change your address in the
new system.

All of our current email news lists are being migrated, and you may
receive multiple requests to resubscribe to the different lists that
you are on.

One advantage of the new system is that for a single email address,
you will be able to manage/update many of the NASA lists that you are on.

If you are subscribed under multiple names for different lists (e.g.,
"name@univ.edu" and "name@astro.univ.edu") you may want to unsubscribe and
resubscribe so as to be using just one address. (This will help for the
monthly confirmations that will be sent out.)  The mailing list software
will send you more directions after you confirm your subscription.
