two other tasks, coordination and providing financial support, belong to our governments. Acting as a group, we should approach government organizations, such as NSF, National Academy of Science, or DOE, and ask for coordination and support. That is the declared mission of such organizations. National laboratories best equipped for the selected projects should be selected, to minimize additional costs. That is the only way to get a clear yes-or-no answer about the new kind of nuclear activity. How to convince governments that a relatively modest amount of additional money is worth investing to solve the puzzle? By being organized and acting as a group rather than as independent individuals. This kind of action was already tried, about five years ago, and it produced a result; the second DOE investigation of CMNS would not have taken place without such initiative. Unfortunately, that investigation turned out to be a failure. The reason is obvious; the DOE decisions were based on voting, rather than on experimental data. Scientific decisions should be based on available data, obtained by the most qualified scientists in the most suitable laboratories. Voting is not part of scientific methodology. 4) Which experiments would I recommend? If only one experiment were to be selected, my choice would be from the second subfield (see the above table), preferably the protocol of Mike McKubre et al. Several independent, highly qualified, investigators reported production of helium during electrolysis. Each of them reported that results were reasonably reproducible in consecutive experiments. If two experiments were to be selected then the second experiment would be from the last field, preferably the protocol described in (5). But at least one more replication of the Tanzella-type experiment would be needed; a single experiment is not enough to make the decision. Production of helium and production of protons are undeniable nuclear signatures. No matter which experiments will be selected, for coordinated investigations, the purpose should be the same, to demonstrate a nuclear activity resulting from a chemical process. Will we be able to act in unison and accomplish the first task quickly? Will at least one team of scientists emerge, ready to cooperate with mainstream scientists in a national lab? Will they obtain the necessary support from in at least one country? All this remains to be seen. In the final analysis, the outcome will depend on our willingness to fight for a clear yes-or-no answer. 5) On positive and negative contributions It is difficult to present a negative CMNS report at a formal gathering of CMNS researchers. Most attendees want and expect positive results and convincing interpretations. Reporting something negative is likely to produce discomfort and personal friction. What fraction of CMNS researchers prefer to report nothing rather than reporting negative results? Reporting negative results is just as important as reporting positive results. We all know this. But how does this influence what we actually say, and not say, in public? Friendship and other considerations (“that is bad for CMNS reputation”) might play a role, in practice. That would introduce bias. 727
