Collaboration responsibilities

• Building the telescope is the responsibility of
  the Production organization but in close contact
  with the Collaboration.

9
Collaboration responsibilites

• The collaboration members are involved in most of
  the parts of building and testing of the
  detector.

10
Collaboration Board

• Collaboration Board is the policy-making entity
  that guides and governs the Scientific activities
  of the collaboration.
• Each institute is represented in ICB with one
  vote each.
• Young scientists represented in ICB.

11
Collaboration Board

• The Collaboration board decides about
• Science policy
• Membership
• Data access
• Publications
• Representation of IceCube at conferences
• Analysis teams
• Education and outreach

12
Collaboration Board

• Collaboration Board ratifies the Collaboration
  Governance document.
• Collaboration Board participates in the change
  control process defined in the Project Management
  Plan (PMP).
• Collaboration Board is asked for concurrence by
  the IceCube Project Director for appointments of
  L2-leads.

13
Collaboration Board

• Collaboration Board conference calls every fourth
  week. (Technical board every week, spokesperson
  represents collaboration)
• Spokesperson elected for two years and at most
  for four consecutive years.

14
Collaboration

• Full collaboration meetings twice a year together
  with AMANDA collaboration meetings.
• In addition several specialized workshops

15
