We propose;\n\n(1)\n(a) Any group in any country (or region) can contribute to the existing \u201csub-groups\u201d in KAGRA. In order to clarify the responsibility of the non-Japanese groups, the head of the sub-group members from each country (or region) can become a \u201cchief\u201d (if the group prefers). In this structure, there could be several chiefs in a sub-group, including the one from the Japanese group. The Japanese chief should take the responsibility of coordinating all the activities in the sub-group during the construction of KAGRA.\n\n(b) A collaboration agreement between KAGRA-PI and PI of the country (or region), which defines the responsibility of each country (or each region) should be concluded at a proper time.\n\n(2) \u201cInternational Board of Representatives\u201d should be formed.\n+ The members are: PIs from each country (or region) and the EC members.\n+ The meeting will be held (at least) in every F2F international\n  collaboration meeting. (The first one will be held at the Feb. 2012 \nF2F meeting).\n+ The agenda items to be discussed include;\n         i) Long term vision of KAGRA,\n         ii) dates of the F2F international collaboration meetings,\n         iii) other important issues of the KAGRA collaboration. \u3000\n\nIf you have any questions and\/or comments, please let me know.\n\nBest regards,\nTakaaki Kajita\n<\/ul>\n\n\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KAGRA Collaboration The KAGRA project is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"about.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-59","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":56,"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1713,"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/59\/revisions\/1713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gwcenter.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
