Common use of PARTIES TO THIS MOU Clause in Contracts

PARTIES TO THIS MOU. 1.1 The Parties shall be CERN as the Host Laboratory, the provider of the Tier0 Centre and the CERN Analysis Facility, and as the coordinator of the LCG project, on the one hand, and all the Institutions participating in the provision of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (hereinafter “WLCG”) with a Tier1 (listed in Annex 1) and/or Tier2 (listed in Annex 2) Computing Centre (including federations of such Institutions with computer centres that together form a Tier1 or Tier2 Centre), as the case may be, represented by their Funding Agencies for the purposes of signature of this MoU, on the other hand. 1.2 The Parties together constitute the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid Collaboration (hereinafter “WLCG Collaboration”), of which they are termed Members. Each federation of Institutions constituted in accordance with paragraph 1.1 above shall count as a single Member of the WLCG Collaboration. For each Member, Annex 1 and Annex 2 show the duly authorised representative to the WLCG Collaboration. WLCG Collaboration Members will receive appropriate credit in the scientific papers of the LHC Experiments that they serve. 1.3 An Institution may have one or several Funding Agencies, which are established bodies controlling all or part of the Institution’s funding. In the execution of this MoU, an Institution, depending on its situation, may be represented in funding matters by its Funding Agency or Agencies, or it may have the authority to represent itself in some or all matters. Annex 4 lists the Funding Agencies and their duly authorized representatives to the C-RRB. 1.4 The LHC Experiments will have available to them Additional Facilities (hereinafter “AF’s”) that access the services of the WLCG or expose resources to it, without themselves being WLCG Collaboration Members. These AF’s are thus not Parties to this MoU. To such AF’s as are named by the LHC Experiments, the Members of the WLCG Collaboration shall give access to the necessary software and to the WLCG itself, for purposes related to the execution of the LHC Experiments. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the WLCG for its users, such access will be subject to written acceptance of such conditions as the WLCG Collaboration shall from time to time decide but which shall in any event include the conditions set out in Article 10 and paragraph 13.1

PARTIES TO THIS MOU. 1.1 The Parties shall be CERN as the Host Laboratory, the provider of the Tier0 Centre and the CERN Analysis FacilityCentre, and as the coordinator of the LCG project, on the one hand, and all the Institutions participating in the provision of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (hereinafter “WLCG”) project with a computer centre qualifying as Tier1 (listed in Annex 1) and/or Tier2 (listed in Annex 2) Computing Centre of the LCG (including federations of such Institutions with computer centres that together form a Tier1 or Tier2 Centreso qualify), as the case may be, represented by their Funding Agencies for the purposes of signature of this MoU, on the other hand. 1.2 The admission of new Parties to this MoU shall be subject to the agreement of the existing LCG Collaboration. In order to (continue to) qualify as a Party to this MoU, each Institution shall comply with the minimal levels-of-service criteria (“Service Levels”) specified for Tier1 and/or Tier2, as the case may be, in Annex 3. In particular: 1.2.1 Although (exceptionally) a Tier1 Centre may comprise a federation of computer centres, it is essential that such a Tier1 has unified technical and operational management, so that the service it provides is indistinguishable in all respects from the same service provided by a single site; 1.2.2 If Institutions wishing to (continue to) qualify as a Tier2 Centre do not (no longer) meet the minimal Service Levels, they shall seek federation with other Institutions so as to fulfil jointly the Tier2 qualification criteria. 1.3 Recognition as a Tier1 Centre shall be subject to the approval of the C-RRB and the LHC Experiments concerned. 1.4 The Parties together constitute the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid Collaboration (hereinafter “WLCG LCG Collaboration”), of which they are termed Members. Each federation of Institutions constituted in accordance with paragraph 1.1 above Article 1.2 shall count as a single Member of the WLCG LCG Collaboration. For each Member, Annex 1 and Annex 2 show the duly authorised representative to the WLCG LCG Collaboration. WLCG Collaboration Members will receive appropriate credit in the scientific papers of the LHC Experiments that they serve. 1.3 1.5 An Institution may have one or several Funding Agencies, which are established bodies controlling all or part of the Institution’s funding. In the execution of this MoU, an Institution, depending on its situationinternal relations, may be represented in funding matters by its Funding Agency or Agencies, or it may have the authority to represent itself in some itself, wholly or all matterspartially. Annex 4 lists the Funding Agencies and their duly authorized representatives to the C-RRB. 1.4 1.6 The LHC Experiments will additionally have available to them Additional Facilities (hereinafter “AF’s”) that access analysis facilities the services Service Levels of which do not enable them to qualify as Members of the WLCG or expose resources to it, without themselves being WLCG Collaboration MembersLCG Collaboration. These AF’s facilities are thus not Parties to this MoU. To such AF’s facilities as are named by the LHC Experiments, the Members of the WLCG LCG Collaboration shall give access to the necessary LCG software and to the WLCG LCG itself, for the purposes related to the execution of the LHC Experiments. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the WLCG for its usersdata analysis, such access will be subject to written acceptance of such conditions as the WLCG Collaboration shall from time to time decide but which shall in any event include under the conditions set out in Article 10 of this MoU. It shall be the duty of the LHC Experiments to ensure that these facilities receive and paragraph 13.1install the necessary software and are competent in its use.
