Hi All,

 

Kudos to the committee for their work on this.  Following today’s discussion, I would be willing to vote in favor of a hook or insertion of this statement into our bylaws as is, but I didn’t understand Bill’s explanation of the uses of the words “similar” and “same” in adjacent sentences in response to Joern’s question.  If there is a compelling need for a person to avoid participation in similar measurements on different experiments, why would we then hold the research groups to a slightly modified version of this standard? 

 

Of course, in the end we’re really just asking all collaborators to exercise good judgement in preserving independence, but I don’t understand the benefit of expressing this in slightly different wording when proceeding from need to compliance.

 

-Ron

Subject: [Sphenix-ib-l] draft "Statement of Principles" – feedback please

Dear sPHENIX IB,

Please find attached a draft "Statement of Principles" crafted by the
joint task force on membership in STAR and sPHENIX.  We are soliciting
your feedback on the attached text so that we can formulate a reply to
the task force.  The statement is one paragraph long, so it doesn't take
long to read, but the principles it articulates are worth some
reflection.  We would appreciate any feedback you may have (including
"looks good to me") by the end of the day Friday, December 3.

We appreciate the thought and effort the task force – with members from
STAR and sPHENIX - has put into developing this statement. The task
force members are Declan Keene, Donald Koete, Rosi Reed, Ron Belmont,
and Bill Zajc.

Regards,
Dave and Gunther
