Election of the ALICE-Korea representative : – D.W. Kim(Kangnung) for 2 years Measures related to Yonsei group that refused to keep its promise to the Korean MEST – M&O-A counting for Yonsei’s PhDs will not be assured by ALICE-Korea prior to 2011 Requests of ALICE-Korea SC to MEST : – The CERN-Korea Coordinator has to be nominated properly (renowned Nuclear/Particle Physicist recognized by CERN and Korean Teams) – The communication between MEST/KICOS and the CERN- ALICE management regarding matters related to ALICE- Korea has to be made after consultation with ALICE-Korea representative The 1 st ALICE-Korea Steering Committee Meeting on Nov. 4 (chairperson: In-Kwon Yoo)

Minutes of the Korea-ALICE Steering Committee Meeting, Nov. 4, 2008 S.C. members : JHKang (Yonsei U), DWKim (Kangnung Nat’l U, Spokesperson), SYKim (Sejong U), IKYoo (Pusan Nat’l U, Chair) 1.Agreement to By law of the Korea-ALICE Coordination 2.Korea-ALICE Organization – Groups : Kangnung, Sejong, Yonsei, Pusan – Representative : DWKim / Council Chair : IKYoo 3.Discussion on Yonsei’s Refusal to pay for M&O-A charge – Exclude Yonsei in the M&O-A until Request of MoU Update : – Yonsei’s common fund  should be included in Construction MoU addendum – Pusan  should be included in M&O-A addendum or a new MoU addendum 5.M&O-A list : set up an Evaluation System (TF : SYKim) 6.All communications between Korea and CERN regarding ALICE should go through the ALICE-Korea representative and/or the S.C. chair 7.Nominate a renowned Nuclear/Particle Physicist as CERN-Korea Coordinator recognized by CERN and the Korean teams
