Dear HPS
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Yesterday the EC approved the generated shifts schedule for the upcoming HPS run.</div>
<div class="">You can find the schedule (and interface login) here:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/hpsshifts/" class="">https://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/hpsshifts/</a></div>
<div class="">(if you have any issues logging in or with forgotten passwords, just let me know).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There are some important points regarding the schedule:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">All non-US institutes have been assigned Worker (Remote) Shifts only since the possibility of foreigners being allowed on-site is uncertain at best. (One US institute also requested remote shifts).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Within the Worker (Remote) Shifts, the allocation to each institute was based on the proportion of members. Worker Shifts come in blocks of 4.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Within the Expert Shifts, the allocation was similarly based on proportion of institute membership. Since travel is involved here, the Expert Shifts come in blocks of 5 (the traditional HPS way).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Given the circumstances we are all operating under, shift (unilateral) swapping has been disabled however trades are available. Remember that trading requires both a request by party A and approval by party B. It should be obvious that shift trades
only be conducted within the appropriate side of the schedule i.e. Only trade Worker for Worker or Expert for Expert to account for the current constraints.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Institute Representatives should check their allocation, make trades as/if needed and assign names to the blocks.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require assistance with any of the above.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Regards</div>
<div class="">Bryan</div>
