-
Status of Survey and alert stream, references, depths, image quality, …
-
The landscape of known galaxy lenses, cluster lenses, lensed AGNs (e.g., from EUCLID)

Lessons learned from gLSNe to date
-
Simulations and expected rates of transients: SNIa, CCSN, SLSN, TDEs, KN, …
-
Follow-up resources lined up for imaging and spectroscopy, including space and AO

Scene modeling photometric pipelines for lensed SN/QSO photometry from multiple telescopes for time delays
-
Fitting tools for photometric time delays
-
Spectroscopic time delays, when does it work, how does it compare with photometry
-
Lens modeling tools
-
Microlensing
-
Blind analysis process
-
Optimization of use of resources: telescopes and humans
-
Publication strategy/policy
