BNL Nuclear Physics PAC 2021 Charge and Agenda

Agenda: 
* STAR: Beam Use Requests for Runs 22-25 
* sPHENIX: Beam Use Requests for Runs 23-25 
* CeC: Beam Use Requests 

The BURs should be based on the following number of expected cryo-weeks. 
First number is minimal expected RHIC run duration and second number is optimal duration: 
2022: 18 (20) 
2023: 20 (28) 
2024: 20 (28) 
2025: 20 (28)
