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.
• List of registered groups (27 groups, as of Apr 5, 2019; shift list 181 persons)

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).
• List of submitters (173 colleagues, as of April 10, 2019)
