Each group knows what the other would like in terms of cooperation. The difference between a promise and a best effort is important information.
Examples: flaring conditions, results to be shared, possible special analysis.
Examples: Issues like confidentiality and authorship
None of us want our results being presented by some other group without our knowledge.
We probably prefer not to have our names appear on a paper without our knowledge.
Authorship guidelines can be defined, e.g. the TeV telescopes all prefer to have authorship open to all team members.
We need to know the process by which we cooperate.
Example: How do we maintain confidentiality?
Example: Who chooses the leads on a particular paper?
Example: Peter Michelson is the only one from LAT who can sign agreements. The rest of us offer advice.
