I can not guarantee you will all be satisfied, it is impossible to satisfy a multitude of requests especially when they are not mutually exclusive, but the swaps and trade features allow you to sort your allocation in to a form you are happy with. Please also remember that a third option exists: ask a fellow collaborator nicely for a favour.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The swap periods are defined as follows:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Foreign: now until Tuesday 24 May</div><div class="">Domestic: Wednesday 25 May - Tuesday 7 June</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Trades (bilateral agreements between institutes): are always open to all for all time. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">Please remember that it is most appropriate, and especially important this time, to request Trades within the same category (Expert for Expert, Worker for Worker).</span></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Shifts sign-up is now open but if there is a possibility that your shifts may be part of a swap, it is better to wait before making any assignments.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have any issues with the interface, please do not hesitate to contact me <a href="mailto:mckinnon@jlab.org" class="">mckinnon@jlab.org</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have any issues filling your allocation, please contact me <a href="mailto:mckinnon@jlab.org" class="">mckinnon@jlab.org</a> and the PDL Eugune <a href="mailto:psyuk@jlab.org" class="">psyuk@jlab.org</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Finally, apologies for the delay.
