[clas_members] Hall B issues

[burkert]

Dear all,

As you probably all know, Jefferson Lab has reduced its workforce last 
week by 46 employees within a matter of a single day. Of these 46, eight 
had been employed within the physics division. Hall B lost one senior 
scientist, Dennis Weygand. One physicist, Alexandre Deur, was reassigned 
to work in Hall D. The layoff of Dennis will have detrimental effects on 
the offline computing/software group. The move of Alexandre to Hall D 
will immediately affect the preparations of the PRAD experiment, for 
which Alexandre was assigned as Hall B liaison. Other changes may have 
lesser immediate effects**on Hall B and CLAS/CLAS12.

In order to manage the impact of these reductions in Hall B staff we 
will need to redistribute responsibilities within the group. This is 
particularly urgent for the offline/computing/software effort where we 
also need to more aggressively go about recruiting collaborators to take 
on specific software projects.

I will discuss these issues first within the Hall B group and NP 
division management**next week and after that with the collaboration 
leadership.
