Friends,

Thanks to those who volunteered to join the publication and bylaws committees! We would like to start the work of these committees as soon as we can - if you are interested or know someone who could contribute to this effort, please let us know before this week's GM.

Best,

Gunther and Dave

Subject: Call for volunteers/nominations for two important committees

Dear Collaborators,

As we further develop the collaboration structure we are looking for members of two important committees. As proposed by the DE&I committee at the collaboration meeting and discussed in the recent GM, we should formalize the integration of the  code-of-conduct/collaboration values statements with our bylaws, and study if the related procedures laid out in the bylaws are adequate. We will form a committee to work with members of the DE&I committee on this task.

In Spring 2017 we implemented a relatively light-weight publication policy. Like for the speaker's bureau established in 2019 we should establish a publication board to oversee preparation, review and publication of technical and physics publications. We will start by forming a committee to review and propose updates for the publication policy and structure for the publication board.

We are looking for volunteers and nominations for both committee's  - this is a great opportunity for collaborators familiar with these procedure and structures in other collaborations to help sPHENIX learn from best practices.

Any nominations received prior to the March 5 general meeting would be particularly helpful.

Best,

Gunther and Dave
