DESC Meeting Contact Persons
As described in the DESC Meeting Contact Person Policy, Meeting Contact Persons (MCPs) will be available (by Zoom and Slack) to meeting participants and be afforded the authority to take action to resolve disputes, conflicts, or harmful situations. MCPs will be selected from eligible participants, and be appointed by the Collaboration Council and the Management Team. All MCP appointments will be confirmed and scheduled with candidates before the meeting.

Session Facilitators
Special opportunity! You (as a meeting participant) can help ensure the success of this meeting by enrolling as a Session Facilitator for one or two sessions; this would involve, e.g., monitoring the chat window or raised hands in the participant list on Zoom, and generally helping where needed. For a quick look at what's involved, see the Session Facilitator's Cheat Sheet. New/junior members are especially encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity as it will help gain familiarity within the DESC community.

Speed Chat

This is a networking opportunity for early career members (student or postdoc) to "speed chat" with DESC Leadership members (DL), Pipeline Scientists (PS), and Computing Infrastructure (CI) team members. Each chat is ~5 minutes (one-on-one) with a randomly assigned DL, PS, or CI. There will be several rounds of chats within a dedicated parallel session.
