• 07-May-2003 - UDF pointing changed by 30 arcsec in order to improve GS availability.
• 26-Feb-2003 - UDF pointing is finalized.
• 12-Feb-2003 - Selected the following exposure times: 55 orbits each in F435W and F606W, 150 orbits each in F775W and F850LP. Selected a pointing in the GOODS CDFS area including both a confirmed z=5.8 galaxy and a type II QSO.
• 06-Feb-2003 - The filter subcommittee opted for using the 4 GOODS filters.

The following reports and white papers were prepared by the ACS UDF Local Working Group and members of the Scientific Advisory Committee.
