"The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is an optical band echelle spectrograph that has been selected as the first light instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). G-CLEF is a general purpose, high dispersion instrument that is fiber fed and capable of extremely precise radial velocity (PRV) measurements. G-CLEF will have a novel multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) capability that will be useful for a number of exoplanet science programs. I describe the general properties of G-CLEF and the systems engineering analyses, especially for PRV, that drove the current G-CLEF design. The requirements for calibration of the MOS channel are presented along with several novel approaches for achieving moderate radial velocity precision in the MOS mode.\n"
