MOU Status
• MOU language agreed to by the collaboration at the May 2012 meeting
• In May 2012, DOE ordered all of its laboratory to submit all MOUs including international collaborators to DOE for approval before signing
• Fermilab submitted the InterAction Collaboration MOU to DOE for approval in early September
• As of early November, despite inquiries, there is no information about the status of our MOU

Additional background
• Since DOE’s new order, Fermilab has so far received approval only for a couple of MOUs that do not include any commitment of funds.
• The InterAction collaboration MOU is Fermilab’s first submission that includes monetary transactions.
• Fermilab is optimistic that the MOU will be approved before the spring collaboration meeting.

MOU and funding for interactions.org
• In 2012, the only institution for which the MOU appears to have posed a problem for funding is IHEP Beijing (and possibly also INFN)
• Invoices for 2013 will be sent in April• Will the lack of an MOU pose a problem for
other institutions in 2013? • Can we wait until the business meeting in April
to discuss other possibilities for the MOU?
