It will not be possible to survey the whole sky in all filters and generate templates by the end of the commissioning period.
A strategy for template generation in the early phases of the survey, which will require balancing a tradeoff between various factors such as smaller area with multiple filters vs a single filter over a large area, must be devised.

There is no non-sidereal observing in the Rubin baseline survey plan and consequently there will be no non-sidereal tracking available during the early science era.

Different science drivers naturally lead to different prioritization strategies, e.g., Milky Way science would prefer templates that cover the Galactic Plane, time domain science would prefer templates in multiple bands rather than a single band for a larger area.
Supernova, transient and variable science strongly advocate for templates for all bands in the Deep Drilling Fields to be prioritized.
Rubin Operations will work closely with the science community to develop a science-driven approach to template generation in the early phases of the survey that will benefit the maximum number of science cases.


\subsection{Time Domain}

The \tvssc reviewed the opportunities for Early Science for non time-critical and time-critical science cases in \citep{Hambleton_2020} and \citep{Street_2020} respectively.
