<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">1) To leave the basic shift requirements for the primary SBS experiments unchanged save for the caveats described in the subsequent points. The current
shift requirements for GMn, GEn and GEp are 10, 15 and 15 shifts, respectively.</span></div>

the SBS experiments.</span></div>

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">3) While “combining shifts” will be allowed as described in point #2, we will still require a minimum of 3 shifts on the actual experiment on which the
collaborator seeks authorship.</span></div>

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">4) To offer a “discount” to those wanting to gain authorship on both GEn and GEp. Specifically, rather than needing to take 15 + 15 = 30 shifts, they only
need to take a total of 25 shifts.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0"> </span><br class="ContentPasted0">

<b>As per point #2 above, this total of 5 shifts can be achieved by combining any number of WAPP-A_LL shifts with any pre-existing or future shifts on the other SBS experiments. Similarly, shifts taken during WAPP-A_LL running can also, according to point 2
above, count towards GMn, GEn or GEp if preferred. Please note that for WAPP-A_LL, point 3 above is not enforced, so WAPP_A_LL does not require 3 shifts from the actual run.</b></div>
