10 Collaboration structure<br />
The proto-collaboration pursuing <strong>the</strong> <strong>GEM</strong> upgrade project <strong>for</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> described here constituted itself during <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>CMS</strong> week in March 2011 as <strong>the</strong> “<strong>GEM</strong> Collaboration (<strong>GEM</strong>s <strong>for</strong> <strong>CMS</strong>)”. We <strong>an</strong>ticipate that <strong>the</strong> collaboration will<br />
rename itself simply as <strong>CMS</strong> <strong>GEM</strong> Collaboration (in <strong>an</strong>alogy to <strong>the</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> DT, RPC, <strong>an</strong>d EMU collaborations) if<br />
this technical proposal is accepted <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> project moves <strong>for</strong>ward. This international proto-collaboration currently<br />
comprises 20 institutions <strong>an</strong>d ≈ 120 collaborators with 19 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 20 institutions full <strong>CMS</strong> institutions <strong>an</strong>d one<br />
associated institution. Ten additional <strong>CMS</strong> institutions have signaled <strong>the</strong>ir interest in joining <strong>the</strong> collaboration by<br />
signing this technical proposal.<br />
An overview <strong>of</strong> its current org<strong>an</strong>izational structure is shown in <strong>the</strong> org<strong>an</strong>igram 5) in Fig.77.<br />

An interim m<strong>an</strong>agement board was <strong>for</strong>med at <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> constitution that comprises <strong>the</strong> interim project m<strong>an</strong>ager,<br />
Arch<strong>an</strong>a Sharma (CERN), <strong>an</strong>d her interim deputy, Michael Tytgat (Gent), <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> interim chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> collaboration<br />
board (Marcus Hohlm<strong>an</strong>n, Florida Tech). Duccio Abb<strong>an</strong>eo (CERN) served as interim deputy chair <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> collaboration<br />
in 2011, but c<strong>an</strong>not continue due to o<strong>the</strong>r obligations at CERN. A new interim deputy chair is to be named<br />
by <strong>the</strong> proto-collaboration in early 2012. Technical working groups on detector issues <strong>an</strong>d s<strong>of</strong>tware issues were<br />
<strong>for</strong>med that report to <strong>the</strong> project m<strong>an</strong>agers. Fin<strong>an</strong>cial issues related to production <strong>an</strong>d testing <strong>of</strong> prototypes are<br />
being overseen by a resource m<strong>an</strong>ager. A Publications <strong>an</strong>d Conference Board coordinates review <strong>an</strong>d submission<br />
<strong>of</strong> abstracts <strong>an</strong>d proceedings to relev<strong>an</strong>t conferences via <strong>the</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> CINCO system. In 2011, <strong>the</strong> collaboration contributed<br />
presentations to eight international conferences <strong>an</strong>d published six proceedings papers. Project m<strong>an</strong>agers,<br />
