each of the subsections of sections I-X should contain:
 . description of the technique, with references if available, and
   if not, some detail.
 . description of any "extra" required hardware (the amplitude cal
   widget, or the WVR, e.g.)
 . how often the calibration observation(s) need(s) to be performed,
   and whether this is a function of frequency
 . how long it takes to do the calibration observation(s),
   and whether this is a function of frequency
 . what quantities need to be archived (and at what rate), and 
   whether they need to be accessible directly from the M&C system
   (delays, e.g.).
 . what further tests and/or studies are needed - is it theoretical
   or actual telescope tests?  on what timescale?


the following folks are identified as being responsible for the
sections (helpers in parentheses):

I.    Butler (all)
II.   Mangum (Holdaway, Butler, Welch, Gibson, Mangum, Martin-Pintado, Carter)
III.  Wootten (Holdaway, Richer/Hills, Woody, Pardo/Cernicharo, D'Addario)
IV.   ???
V.    Butler (Holdaway, Myers, Welch, D'Addario)
VI.   Mangum & Lucas
VII.  Conway (Butler)
VIII. Butler (D'Addario)
IX.   Butler (Carter, Mangum, Lamb (?))
X.    ??? (Holdaway, D'Addario)
XI.   Lucas (Butler)
XII.  Butler (all)

of course, each of the section leaders is at liberty to redefine
the subsections - i listed them above more to guide my own thinking
than as a strict description of what i think the subsectioning
should really be...
