We are at present in the phase of SNnet test.
Till March '99 only 2 experiments (SK and MACRO) were involved
in this test and informations were accessed by people belonging
to each (or both) experiment (Kate, Alec and Marc).
Since March '99 LVD has been integrated in the test.
Everybody seems to agree that each experiment must have access
to the same information.
So including one LVD member in the restricted number of persons
having access to the complete information, we could solve the
privacy problem and state the principle of equal dignity among
experiments.
As soon as any other detector join the SNnet test, a new member
will have access to the complete information.
Rules of privacy and safety presently respected by you (Kate,
Alec and Marc) will be simply accepted and respected by new members
of this restricted group of people.
Of course only the names of these persons must be public, not the
information which they have access to.
Here we are, in the middle of the test phase of the SNnet,
not yet ready to move from the "test mode" to announcing coincidences
to the community.
And we have, now, to solve this privacy and transparency problem.
Thanks,
