The Science Group coordinators and the Groups are charged to:
(1) Organize and schedule regular meetings of the group and post
the date and time for each meeting
on the master calendar for the science groups. (Pat Nolan
is a resource for doing this.). The scheduling
of meetings should be driven by the active group members.
The purpose of posting the time and date is
to allow other collaboration Members to attend if they want to.
(2) Review the list of anticipated papers (Table 3 of attached
document) and, with special attention to papers
likely to be generated from data obtained during the first year
of operation, update the list. Each group should
do this. Also, identify any papers that the group can
generate before launch.
(3) Develop a plan for group activities during the next
year. This should include a schedule with detail that is
sufficient to drive near term accomplishments (i.e. between now
and the September Collaboration meeting.).
At the September Collaboration meeting the coordinators should
report to the whole collaboration on what
has been accomplished by their group. These reports will be
a regular agenda at future Collaboration meetings.
(4) Develop a science group web site for posting notes, minutes of
meetings, reports, etc. The primary purpose
of the group web sites are to facilitate exchange of information
concerning ongoing work, to serve as an archive,
and to be a reference for the Collaboration members who are not
members of a particular science group to learn
about the group's ongoing work and accomplishments. The web
sites will serve to reinforce the principle that
science activities are open to all collaboration Members.
