MoU
2.7 The Conference Committee (CC)
The CC will consist of one member for each participating Party, designated by the Party itself for a period of
two years (renewable only once) with the exception of very small Parties. The ANTARES Spokesperson,
Deputy Spokesperson and Technical Coordinator are ex-officio members of the CC, without voting rights.
The CC will be chaired by one of its members, elected by the CC itself, on a rotation basis (two years). The CC
chairman will be assisted by a secretary, who will collaborate with him in contacting Conference
Organisers, maintaining the Conference Web page, informing speakers of assigned talks, etc.
Task of the CC will be that of pointing out Conferences of possible relevance for Antares and of assigning
speakers for such conferences. Priority in the choice will be given, in the order, to:
Antares members having given an important contribution to the given subject
Younger members
Members who have not presented results in the previous year
Members who are planning to attend a Conference where no other members plan to go
In the process of making such choice full responsibility will be left to the CC, free from rigid rules, but keeping
in mind the above recommendations (a-d).
For each assigned talk, a referee will be chosen by the CC among its members or, if not possible, within the
collaboration. Task of the internal referee will be that of reviewing the talk before it is given. Should the
talk have to appear in proceedings, the final version of the paper will be circulated among all CC members
for approval, before submission. Relevant deadlines will be set by the CC in each case.
