4. XRAC Reviewer Manual (David Hart)
Previously:
- (2/20) Email with attachment from Dave H. to SMT mail list:
As part of RAS efforts to increase recruiting for the XRAC, Ken and I compiled the attached "Reviewer Manual" to provide XRAC members with some common baseline information.
Most notably, this document includes a Charter for the XRAC and the official XRAC COI policy—These sections have been updated for XSEDE from prior approved versions that I found dating back to TeraGrid. If there are more recent XSEDE-approved versions, we can replace those sections, if someone can send me those docs.
So, while comments are welcome throughout, I think protocol dictates that the SMT should give formal approval to the Charter and COI policy.
- (3/1) John - call to vote at next SMT in 2 weeks, so that everyone can review. Would be good if this had a DRAFT watermark. Considerations for alternate list and guidance for what to send will be discussed at the Quarterly
- (3/1) J Ray - SPF meeting next week and will have review of this on agenda
- (3/1) Nancy - reference to COI appendix that is off (E vs. F). What about using NSF COI rules?
- (3/29) Ron - John provided feedback; conversations with Bob as well. Getting feedback from XRAC by next week.
