The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) announces an open call for community white papers on the upcoming Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) Sky Survey (VLASS). These white papers will form the basis for discussion at the NRAO VLASS Science Planning Workshop that will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, 5 January 2014, at the upcoming 223rd AAS meeting in Washington, DC. 

The white paper call is for submissions concerning survey science goals, techniques, development areas, and overall design. Individuals or groups interested in attending and speaking at the workshop are strongly encouraged to submit white papers by 1 December 2013 to allow ample time for inclusion in the workshop.
