There are 5 tabs, CLAS collaboration as a back-up to clas_members, and one for each of the Working Groups to replace their respective mailing lists. Add as appropriate for your interests.

These lists are intended for use only to communicate CLAS and WG business and threads will be initiated by the relevant CCC member if required.

In the event they are required, given all of the above, we will be in a position to continue clear communications amongst the collaboration and the information will reach you in a timely manner. If you have any issues then please do not hesitate to contact me.

> The final item: please reach out to us if you want to present your work either during a “WG session” or “plenary” session: personal analysis updates (mature or in their infancy), looks at newly processed data, Run Group updates covering multiple physics studies etc etc.
