KAGRA collaboration agreement

EO decided to collect "KAGRA collaboration agreement" from all groups of the collaboration, in order to confirm the relationship officially between a group and KAGRA, and to proceed to the next responsible contributions including observation shift and future development of the projects. This procedure is supposed to be once.
The sample format is now updated (attached also in this mail) at JGWdoc-M1909818.
The draft includes the statement (in section 4-2); "KAGRA will support the local expenses of the members of Group A within the available budget through the ICRR Inter-University Research program." If your group does not submit this form, then your group members may miss to receive this support.
In order to plan our O3 observation shift at the KAGRA site, we also collect the list of shift candidates from the group representatives.
Please note that our Principal Investigator (Kajita-san) says that participating the observational shift is a necessary step to be involved in the next author-list of O3.
We ask the group representative to follow the procedures by the end of March:
- Check out the "Agreement" draft (attached in this mail) at JGWdoc-M1909818.
- Also prepare the list of the shift candidates (attached in this mail) in Excel file format.
- Visit the registration page https://gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/collaboration-agreement and tell us who will make a signature, together with the list of shift candidates.
EO will prepare the "Agreement sheet" for each group, and will have a sign-up process at the face-to-face meeting in April (at ICRR Kashiwa, April 19-21) or at the face-to-face meeting in August (at Toyama U, maybe August 22-24), by exchanging digital signatures, or by exchanging surface mails.
At this moment, we do not make a clear definition of each group, so that please think flexibly. One university/institute can prepare one agreement (even there is one person), or a couple universities (like a country, region, whatever) can prepare one agreement.

O3 Commitment form

KSC decided to collect a commitment form from every KAGRA collaborators before O3 starts.
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish and recognize the fundamental rules and policies between each colleague and the KAGRA collaboration for participating joint observation run 3 (O3) with LIGO/Virgo collaborations, starting from April 2019.
The form is available from JGWdoc-M1909631.
You are supposed to download the form, print it, sign it, scan it, edit the file name, and submit it.
Submission page is https://gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/o3-commitment-form
Submitted colleague can apply for an account of KAGRA main data server (including LV-data).
