GCN LVC Circulars Request |
INTRODUCTION:
This page allows people to sign up for the Private Phase LIGO/Virgo (LVC) Circulars within GCN.
Even if you are already receiving the regular GCN Circulars, you still need to fill out this page,
because this is a separate vetting/distribution list for the Private-phase LVC-related Circulars.
(Circulars are prose-style messages submitted by list-members
and are re-distributed to the "LVC Circulars" distribution list.)
There are 6 pieces of information needed to sign-up for the GCN LCV Circulars:
a) Your full name: John Doe
b) Your institutional and/or project affiliation: NOAO
c) The email address you want to receive the Circulars: jdoe@sirus.noao.edu or John.Doe.1@noao.edu
d) Your email account name you will be using to submit: jdoe
e) Your domain from which you will be submitting: noao.edu
f) Whether you want to receive (or not) to this entry -- 1 to receive, 0 not to; [select a button].
Items d & e may seem like a duplication of item c. Item c can sometimes be different than from where you will be submitting.
Also, some institutions use email servers/forwarders that allow for a generic email address such that
email can be delivered to a person no matter how their true account name/machine moves or changes.
Items d and e are used in the validation process for circular submissions.
You can have multiple entries in this Circulars vetting/receiving list.
Item f allows you to have submit-only entries (e.g. say a backup gmail.com account),
and there can also be more than one receive entry.

PROCEDURE:
1) Enter information about you in the box below. (Items with a red asterisk are required fields.)
2) Hit the "Send LVC Circulars request to LVC (& GCN) Admin" button (at bottom of page).
(This will send me an email (& CC you) with the information you entered.)
3) How to and Where to become a member of the LVC LV-EM Forum.
(LV-EM Forum membership is needed during the initial proprietary phase for LVC to approve your request).
And when LVC approves your Forum request, I can then add you to the LVC Circulars vetting/distribution list.)
