A working group has been formed to engage with the scientific community and provide input that will shape the scientific program. The Working Group is charged with advising the STScI Director on the form and attributes of a final observing program. The Director will take full account of this advice in developing the observing program that will be implemented by STScI for the community.
As As part of the process, the working group is soliciting solicited community input via the following survey:

The deadline for response is a survey, with a response deadline of December 7 2018. Those responses were taken into account in compiling the final survey recommendations.
Charter
After consultation with the Space Telescope Users Committee and the science community, the Space Telescope Science Institute's Director, Kenneth Sembach, has decided to devote a substantial amount of Director's Discretionary time in observing Cycles 27-29 to a new Hubble Ultraviolet Legacy Initiative centered on star formation and related stellar astrophysics. The primary goal of this initiative is to extend knowledge of the universe through the unique ultraviolet observing capabilities available only with HST. The overall program will serve as the foundation for a legacy dataset on which the astronomical community can build and contribute observational, theoretical, and numerical simulation data and models.

Report submitted to Director, February 5, recommending the Hubble UV Legacy Library of Young Stars as Essential Standards, the ULLYSES project.
Full reportThe full report will be made available after the Cycle 27 GO deadline.
Implementation
The program was announced to the community on March 4 2019. Neither the target list nor the detailed observing modes for ULLYSES have been defined as yet. STScI will constitute an implementation team to work with the community to refine those parameters. All observations will be non-proprietary and available immediately to the community.
...
The final target list for ULLYSES will be announced in July and will take into account existing datasets, both archival and those that are part of ongoing GO programs.
