2016 BOOST Report

• Alex: 2016 report is review article. First draft around 2017 BOOST. Community gave feedback, accounted for. Theory part uploaded. ML part uploaded. EXP part not yet uploaded. Was about to upload in December but got request for another round of feedback from authors. Some feedback was repetitive so now in a discussion how to resolve the conflicts and consolidate opinions. Deadline for feedback is closed. Most gave green light, so now in last stages. Activity from Lily and Chris recently, so actively being edited. 1-2 weeks estimate for upload. All three parts submitted to RMP journal. Original deadline March 2018, within deadline.
