Guide for the white paper:

• Aim of the white paper
• to show community demand for new instrumentation including potential science cases by mm/sub-mm VLBI, especially using the "East Asian (sub-)mm VLBI array"

• Potential array configuration of EA (sub-)mm VLBI
  • 86 GHz: GLT + KVN x 3 + NRO (+ JCMT + Thailand)
  • 230 GHz: GLT + JCMT + SPART + SRAO (+ SMA)
• Topics to be included in the VLBI section of the white paper
  • Potential science case for current + future EA (sub-)mm VLBI array at 86 and 230 GHz (JCMT will plan to install new receiver having capability of 86GHz, 230GHz, 340GHz, and Thailand will plan to have 86 GHz receiver in 2-3 years)
  • demand on VLBI instrumentation
  • Others (demand on VLBI instrumentation at JCMT, etc.)
  • Potential science case for each configuration shown above (JCMT will plan to have 86 GHz and 230 GHz receiver in thin year, and Thailand will plan to have 230 GHz receiver in 2-3 years )
  • Demand of instrumentation
  • Demand for operation
  • Problems of current VLBI stations
  • Others (Bring up topics you come up with for to achieve the aim of white paper.)
