  **Phase 2**: The activities starting from the installation of SHARK-NIR at the SX central bent Gregorian focus of LBT, followed by preliminary functional checks, aligning SHARK-NIR to the telescope (daytime), and daytime closed dome engineering/technical testing. All of these are daytime activities. [Pre-commissioning: Installation, functional checks, and closed-dome testing]
 
- **Phase 3**: Phase 3 commences the nighttime commissioning, starting from sending preset to the telescope to testing individual SHARK-NIR observation modes for performance to the total SHARK-NIR performance. All the activities are nighttime. However, some daytime activities may be anticipated as well. By the end of this phase, SHARK-NIR is ready for early science observations. [Commissioning]
+ **Phase 3**: Phase 3 commences the nighttime commissioning, starting from sending preset to the telescope to testing individual SHARK-NIR observation modes for performance to the total SHARK-NIR performance. The final form of the SHARK-NIR software, observing blocks, data-reduction pipeline, etc., will be tested for all the modes (and sub-modes) of the instrument. All the activities are nighttime. However, some daytime activities may be anticipated as well. By the end of this phase, SHARK-NIR is ready for early science observations. [Commissioning]
 
- **Phase 4**: SHARK-NIR is ready for the final phase of the commissioning - the science verification / early science observations. The final form of the SHARK-NIR software, observing blocks, data-reduction pipeline, etc., will be tested for all the modes (and sub-modes) of the instrument. The final performance of the SHARK-NIR will be analyzed using the data from this run. All the activities are nighttime. By the end of this phase, SHARK-NIR is ready for 'shared-risk' science.

-'''SHARK-NIR Location''' : LBT platform.  All nighttime activities. Some daytime support (within SHARK-NIR) is anticipated. SHINS is tested and working properly. Only tweaking or parameter adjustment, if any, is expected from SHINS at this stage.
+'''SHARK-NIR Location''' : LBT platform.  All nighttime activities. Very little daytime support (within SHARK-NIR) is expected. SHINS expected to be ready to be used without any changes required.
 
 Every evening of the nighttime commissioning, all the required calibrations (including dark, bias, flat-field, etc. for all the filters required) will be taken using the SHARK-NIR calibration unit.
