Collaboration Board. The Collaboration Board (CB) is composed of one nominated Institute Representative (IR) per Institute. The spokesperson(s) and/or his/her deputy, the CB chair and his/her deputy, the Research Line Conveners, the Budget Holder of the CCF and the CERN contact person attend the CB as ex-officio members; the CB chair can invite additional experts as ex-officio members.
Collaboration Board. The Collaboration Board is the principal governing body of the collaboration. It is the final deciding body of the collaboration. The Collaboration Board is basically the assembly of the representatives of all institutes in the collaboration, thus ensuring proper representation of all collaboration members. Its mandate is to take strategic decisions on the experiment and the construction of further telescopes, and to supervise the actions of the Executive Board.
Collaboration Board. Signatories will meet periodically in a Collaboration Board. CB to meet... bianually? The effort dedicated by each partner will be recorded and this is understood to represent a proportional influence on project direction. How should decisions be taken in practise - Voting? “Proportional consensus”?

A sample list of Important Issues is listed below: other Issues may be declared Important by the CB Chair, if raised by at least one Institute, one Spokesperson or by the CB Chair himself. Examples of Important Issues • Amendments of the MoU (see Article 12) • Revision of the Research Program and on relative priorities in its execution • Decision on the membership of the collaboration and participation of new Institutes (see Annex 4) • Decision on terminating WGs or forming new ones • Decision on the amount of contribution to the Collaboration Common Fund and the approval of the Annual Financial Plan • Election of the CB Chair • Election of t...
Collaboration Board. The Collaboration Board is the policy- and decision-m aking body of the ATLAS Collaboration. Typical tasks of the Collaboration Board will be: • decisions on the global detector design; • policy matters (guidelines for the interaction with the LHC Committee and the CERN Management, publications, presentations etc.); • financial and human resources; • elections; • ATLAS organization; • ATLAS membership. Members of the Collaboration Board are: • in general one representative per institution; however, institutions may have, at their discretion, up to two representatives; • members of the Executive Board ( ex officio). Each participating institution has one and only one vote. Decisions require a 2 / 3 majority of the institutions represented during the vote. A quorum of 50% (including procurations) is required. Voting representatives can carry not more than 2 procurations in addition to their own vote. In case a 2 / 3 majority cannot be obtained another vote has to be arranged for a later date with the aim of obtaining a 2 / 3 majority at that time. If this majority still cannot be obtained a further vote with a relative majority (abstentions not counted) will decide. Elections will follow the subsequent procedure:
