Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 1 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 Communication Issues - Brant Johnson, BNL Part I: General Issues of User Communication  User Questions and Concerns  Partners in Communication (internal and external)  Methods of Communication (push, pull, and respond) Part II: My Brief History as a User and User Rep. Part III: A Specific Example (RHIC & AGS) Reorganizing a Users’ Executive Committee Startup and Evolution of a Users’ Center

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 2 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 Part I: User Questions and Concerns As a user, how do I understand:  What is expected of me. (regulations, procedures, dos and don’ts)  What has changed. (regulations, procedures, dos and don’ts)  Who can help me. (site access, lodging, remote computing, etc.).  To whom to report problems and suggestions.  How to convey the importance of my work.

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 3 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 Partners in Communication:  User Administrators (the “go to” people who are there to help me).  User Organization or Executive Committee (elected and appointed liaisons).  Experimental Research Team (a few, formal group, or large collaboration).  Facility Administration (scheduling and operational issues).  Laboratory Administration (environment, safety, security, and health).  Stakeholders in Washington (must know rules of engagement).

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 4 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 PUSHing information to users:  web pages (news, information, announcements, changes)  (to individuals, distribution lists, or list servers)  face-to-face (open forums and other meetings)  telephone, paper mail, FAX, telegraph, pony exp. (rarely or never used)

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 5 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 PULLing information from users:  (sending out requests for feedback or surveys)  web pages (comment boxes, interactive forms for surveys  face-to-face (walk-ins, open forums, and other meetings)  telephone, paper mail, FAX, telegraph, pony exp. (rarely or never used)

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 6 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 RESPONDing to user concerns:  (receive concern, investigate, reply, follow-up)  telephone (real time answers or follow-up later)  face-to-face (walk-ins, open forums, and other meetings)  web pages (updates and acknowledgements)  paper mail, FAX, telegraph, pony express (rarely or never used)

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 11 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, Discussion on working groups Vision: 1.Reorganize previous UEC Committees into four Working Groups to cover broad areas of UEC concern. 2.Carry out the “work” of the UEC through active engagement of 6-10 members “working” together in each Working Group. 3. Charge each UEC Member to concentrate their efforts as a Convenor of one Working Group or as a member of only one or two Working Groups (except Ex-Officio). 4. The Working portion (10:00 to 11:15) of each monthly UEC meeting shall be devoted to reports from each Working group on outcomes of previous ACTIONS, status of current ACTION ITEMS, and initiation of new ACTION ITEMS.

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 12 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 UEC Working Groups (UWG) Brookhaven Site Access Physical Access (Visa, Guest Appointment, Gate Access) Computer Access (Cybersecurity, Scientific Computing) Safety, Training, Scientific Computing and data transfer issues Funding and Political Action Funding: Facility Operations, Research, and User Support. Political Action: Interactions with DOE, OSTP, OMB, Congress Meetings and Open Forums Annual Users’ Meeting and semi-annual Users’ Group Meetings Quarterly Open Forums and Monthly UEC Meetings. Quality of Life Housing and Transportation; Recreation and Socialization Site Enhancements (better lighting, foot paths, maintenance) Agenda input for Open Forums at BNL and User Group Meetings Liaisons to Association for Students And Postdocs (ASAP)

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 14 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, 2008 Major Concerns of RHIC User Community 1.FUNDING for Research (groups and nations) FUNDING for RHIC and Detector Operations FUNDING for RHIC and Detector Upgrades FUNDING for long-term future (RHIC II, e-RHIC) 2. Visa Issues and Approval for BNL Site Access: Of 1030 RHIC Users, only 319 are U.S., while 711 (69%) are non-U.S. Currently 230 RHIC “sensitive” country users: Russia (113), China (62), India (43), Israel (4), Taiwan (4), Pakistan (2), Georgia (1), and Ukraine (1). 3. Safety, Training, and Quality of Life at BNL. 4.Staying abreast of changing rules and regulations. e.g., Homeland Security Presidential Directive, HSPD-12

Brookhaven Science Associates U.S. Department of Energy 15 Communication Issues -- Brant Johnson, BNL NUFO Meeting, PNNL, April 25, List servers and web pages List servers: The Users’ Center has developed and maintains several list servers to communicate with the general user community and specific subsets (e.g., RHIC-AGS, NSRL, ATF, tandem, UEC members).
