  The CLEO collaboration proposes to explore the charm sector starting early
2003. It is foreseen to collect on the order of 6 million D D-bar pairs, 300000
Ds Ds-bar pairs at threshold and one billion J/psi decays. High precision charm
data will enable us to validate upcoming Lattice QCD calculations that are
expected to produce 1-3% errors for some non-perturbative QCD quantities. These
can then be used to improve the accuracy of CKM elements. The radiative J/psi
decays will be the first high statistics data set well suited for meson
spectroscopy between 1600 and 3000 MeV.
