The Talk Coordinator (TC) is responsible foroverseethe equitable distribution of speaking opportunities to Members of the Collaboration.  The TC will look forward to future conferences and solicit invited speaker slots from conference organizers. Members who directly receive invitations from conference coordinators should coordinate their response with the TC.  It is the TCs responsibility to keep thecollaboration awareof this and to encourage institutions to send junior researchers (students and postdocs).  The TC should communicate with collaboration members and labs and other funding opportunities to students with limited funding get the resources needed to give talks at upcoming events.  All people interested in giving a talk or poster using the analysis or any results from E1039 at a conference should get approval from the TC before doing so.  The TC will establish protocols for the review and approval of conference abstracts, presentations, and proceedings.  A web page archiving all collaboration presentations will be maintained by the TC.  The TC will also provide a meeting or phone meeting for practice talks upon request to getfeed backfrom collaboration members.

The Service Coordinator (SC) will oversee the assignments of the service work done for each of the full members and institutions. The SC will make use of the Fermilab ECL system to maintain lists of full collaboration members and contribution to service work and will also coordinate with the Shift Coordinator to make sure each institution has fulfilled its shift taking commitments.  The SC will keep track of all service done in the Collaboration and organize the available service work to distribute.  The SC will be in charge of assigning service work for each institution and accrediting each institution with work done.  The SC will also present the status of this accreditation online and report to the Collaboration any losses in service that must be made up.  The SC will report regularly to the Collaboration about service work that is needed by the collaboration and try to fit volunteer into their preferred jobs as well as assign members needed service to available service jobs.   The SC in coordinate with the WC will report in the Biweekly meeting as well as Collaboration meeting on updates to Service Work and work with the Work Coordinator on what jobs are available for service.  The SC will coordinate with the TC to give a presentation on Service work and Service Tasks at every Collaboration Meeting.

The Run Coordinator (RC) will be responsible for supervising the running of the experiment on-site at FNAL. This person will chair daily meetings to review the immediate progress and challenges of the experiment, will remind shift-takers of their duties and make sure optimal run conditions are being implemented.  The RC is responsible for keeping the shift-takes updated on any configuration changes or changes to the run plan.  The RC will keep a web-page with all the information from the daily meeting as well as expected run conditions, conditions for the beam and target, and monitoring.  The RC must check the results of the online monitoring and continue to try to optimize the running conditions. The RC is responsible for checking the list of subsystems experts (provided by SyC) and contact info.  Near on-site experts must be available at all times and the RC is responsible for making sure qualified experts are scheduled during all running times.

Two people at a time to alternate off and on with position lasting as long the run (1 commissioning run (three months), 2 production runs (1 year)).

The Outreach Coordinator (OC) is responsible for helping the TC to solicit upcoming meetings and conferences to get speaker invitations in the Collaboration.  The OC is responsible for advertising of the experiment for the sake of collaborator recruitment as well as publicizing the experiment on the largest scale platform available.  The OC will help the spokespeople organize an effort to attract more people into the project and help to publicize the project in social media to build interest and promoter the experiment.  The OC will use crowdsourcing and citizen science in attempt to involve the public and to expose non-scientists to Nuclear and Particle physics research.  The OC will connect volunteers in the collaboration to speak attwo yearcollages and high schools topromoter education and community involvement. The OC primary objective is the help strengthen the Collaboration by attracting new Full and affiliated members and also to connect to the community to share what we are doing in our experiment and field.  The OC will keep the Collaboration webpage and Collaboration Outreach materials up to date.

The Systems Coordinator (SyC) maintains a list of on-site and off-site experts for all subsystems. The SyC also coordinates training of experts by matching up scientists and students with experts that can train on a particular piece of hardware.  The SyC provides the list of qualifiedexertsto the RC. The SyC schedules the experts to be in close proximity to FNAL and provides all the necessary contact information to the RC.  The SyC also maintains the list of fallback people or secondary contact for instrumentation. There are two lists maintained by SyC, the Critical Systems list and the General Systems list.  There must be a person assigned to each item but a person on-site (or near on-site) assigned to the Critical Systems list. The person listed may also provide someone else to be on-site to serve in their stead if they are qualified.

Critical Systems List:

General Systems List

• Physics Working Groups and Leaders:
• Sea Quark Sivers:
• J/psi TSSA:
• Open Charm and anti-charm:
• Transversity:
• Heavy Photon, Dark Higgs:

There are several on-site and off-site tasks and jobs that are needed.  Some short term and someon going.  The Work Coordinator (WC) keeps track of these jobs and helps to find collaboration members to do them.  These jobs are all part of service work so the Work Coordinator help to determine the value of the work done for each job listed as a Service Task.  This information is then reported back to the Service Coordinator.  Service Tasks do not overlap with Service as a Coordinator which areon goingcommitments.  Service Tasks are separate forms of Service Work that canbeuseto fulfill aninstitutionservice work.  The work coordinator must solicit jobs from the spokespeople and Collaboration Coordinators to compile a list of jobs and people to do them continually.  The should then inform the SC ofup comingjobs and jobs with no one assigned.  The WC should keep a website with the information on each job and the value of the job as service work for each posting. It is the WC responsibility to Coordinate the Service Tasks work effort andhavea list of tasks completed on not completed before each Collaboration Meeting.  The Work Coordinate should then organize the effort as to what will be accomplished before the next Collaboration Meeting.  The Work Coordinator will report the progress and results at each meeting.
