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.)


1) Name*: (Your name, as you want it to appear on outgoing Circulars)
Institution and/or Project Affiliation*: (As you want it to appear on outgoing Circulars)
Receive Address*: (E-mail address to receive Circulars)
Account Name*: (Email account name you will be using to submit)
Account Domain*: (Domain from which you will be submitting)
Receive*: To Receive & submit    Submit-only


NOTE: It is useful to also send a one-word email to scott@milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov using the account that you just listed above,
so that I can check the acctname in the "From "-line in the email header (since those can sometimes be different
than the login acctname, e.g. you log in as jdoe, but the mail-agent program inserts John.Doe in the From-line
of the outgoing email header). This is important, because the Circulars processing program uses the acctname and domain
in the "From "-line for vetting purposes for any future circular submission you might make.
(The "From "-line without the colon is used, not the "From: "-line with the colon,
because the "From: "-line with the colon can be spoofed.)


3) If you are not a member of the LV-EM Forum
then click this link How to sign up for the LV-EM Forum.
(You need to be an LV-EM Forum member before LVC will approve your LVC Circulars request).
When your LV-EM Forum membership is approved, please send me a quick email, so I can proceed with the LVC Circulars sign-up.
