Memorandum of Understanding November 2, 2013
Fermilab proposal for new MOU • Split MOU into two documents • Agreement between InterAction Collaboration and Fermilab to assign business functions • Separate agreements between InterAction Collaboration and individual laboratories for annual contribution of funds November 2, 2013
First MOU (business functions at Fermilab) • Agreement establishes requirements • Each institution submits a letter of appointment to the Collaboration to be kept on file at Fermilab • The Collaboration Board will need to formally submit instructions to Fermilab with instructions regarding the disposition of funds • The Collaboration will need to designate a contact person for correspondence • Open questions • Will this satisfy all the labs regarding business functions? • Who can sign on behalf of “The InterAction Collaboration”? November 2, 2013
Second MOU (annual contributions) • Between individual institutions and “The InterAction Collaboration” • Benefit: MOU does not need to traverse the DOE approval system • Potential issues/questions: • The InterAction Collaboration is not a legal entity. Will this work for (non-US) labs? • Can DOE labs continue to contribute under the current DOE PAC system? • Will the agreement be customizable for each institution? Or should there be one agreement for all labs that need one? • Who would sign on the collaboration’s behalf? November 2, 2013
