Hi Steinn,
The link you want for the XMM proposal to the Senior Review Panel is

I can somewhat understand why NASA would choose to trim GO funding over cutting mission operations. Though their explanation of XMM's weakness is the absolutely prototypical lazy reviewer response: "the scientific case for continued funding....was not compelling." XMM deserves a more thoughtful explanation of why their funding should be cut (most of the other missions had some thoughtful discussion).
Cheers,
Craig
