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. 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.
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.
