As the target expert, you are in charge of the entire target infrastructure and cryogenic system.  You must make a work plan for all target activities.  You can reach out to dustin for help with this if needed.  While we are in the commissioning phase you should arrange and plan all target and cryogenics system work to be done in the next week and make sure the team has a workable plan to achieve its goals.  Plan a schedule for that week and make sure the team has the resources needed.  Arrange at least one target commissioning meeting (probably Friday but whatever works) to discuss what has been achieved to help the team and the incoming target expert know what is going on.   Contact dustin with any anomalies, concerns, or questions.
