[clas_members] ITEP shifts

[pogorelk at jlab.org]

Dear Collaborators,
as you may have heard, Russian scientists affiliated to Russian
Institutions are presently unable to visit the Lab because of difficulties
in obtaining the DOE authorisation to be on site. Several attempts have
been done but, as of now, none of us has received the authorisation to
visit over the last 4 months and there are no indication of when this
could change. Because of these situation, which is beyond our control, we
will be unable to cover the shifts we have been allocated in the next
months. Some colleagues who are on site have already volunteered to cover
some of our shifts but at this moment we still have 24 shifts that we
cannot cover. We are therefore sending this message asking for help in
covering this shifts. Unfortunately, given this situation, we cannot
promise we will be able to return the favour you would be doing to us but
we hope nevertheless you will be able to help us.

Thanks for your understanding,

ITEP representative in CLAS collaboration
