  1. Report from Executive Committee MeetingAlan Wiseman G030134-00-Z LIGO Scientific Collaboration - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

  2. Publications • Varied degrees of readiness for publication … • But all received some (substantive) comments that need to be addressed • Revised drafts by (roughly) 1st week of April • Stagger them this time [avoid publication OD.] • To the LSC for comments and the reviewers • [April 14, draft of burst paper to reviewers.] • Need for coherence between the drafts. • Being handled by grassroots effort started by Peter Fritschel • (roughly) April 24 drafts ready for publication • [Complaints about the schedule: UL Chairs Telecon.] LIGO Scientific Collaboration - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

  3. APS Meeting Talks: 5-6 April • Try to update our presentation from the AAAS • Considerable progress has been made in a few weeks. • Similar “approval” process to AAAS slides. • All Slides (with “results” on them) should be approved by reviewers. • Erik Katsavounidis will need updated slides • Other presenters also should update their slides, and pass them by the reviewers. • Compressed Schedule, so please move quickly LIGO Scientific Collaboration - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

  4. S2 Plans • All groups presented a list of options • … move to concise plans by early May. • All LSC Telecon (tentative) 2nd week of May. • UL Groups state their plans and timetable • When scheduling … … Keep in Mind: Amaldi Meeting (July) • Major meeting in our field • A strong LSC (UL Group) Showing is encouraged. • Hopefully, S1 papers will be out the door, but we would like to do better • Possible preliminary S2 results. [Similar review process for slides.] LIGO Scientific Collaboration - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

  5. S3 Plans • Current system of (UL) groups seems to work reasonably well. • Let’s not upset the apple cart. [No plans to change … Yet.] • New leadership may want/need/decide how to (re)organize. • But… • A more varied approach should come from within the groups • Many cases, part of the original proposal … just hasn’t been executed • Chairs should be receptive to new (bottom up) ideas within the groups • Only rule: Data analysis efforts need to be transparent and open to the collaboration. LIGO Scientific Collaboration - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

  7. Grid Computing • Pulsar group used some “grid” methods to run their analysis • TFClusters also • Other search codes and simulations will likely do so in the future. • Tasking the LSUG (Patrick Brady, Chair) to lead the way on how these searches should be implemented. • Quoting Keith: should be “user friendly” LIGO Scientific Collaboration - University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
