Reporting to the Rubin Director would put the DM Scientist on the same level as the AD for DM: is this intended, or should the DM Scientist report to the Associate Director for Data Management? May need discussion.

Agree - this is not a role that should report to the Director. There is a conflict of interest though in reporting to the AD. I would suggest that the DM lead scientist reports to the LSST lead scientist, with the ADs reporting to the Director.

Similarly, the DM Scientist does not need to be in the operations exec

Maybe the text above this line could go in the formal role description, and the specifics below just live in this Mgmt Plan?

The role above has been updated. I think now that this remains here.
