An institution wishing to join HiPCAT must submit a letter of commitment, signed by at
least two of the organization's ranking officials overseeing research and/or IT
activities (e.g., the VP for Research and the VP for IT at a university; the CIO and
the Chief Technical Officer at a company). Institutional membership in HiPCAT must be
approved by the HiPCAT Executive Committee by a majority vote of the current and
attending members.
Each member institution must designate an institutional liaison. The institutional
liaison must have authority from his/her institution to respond to HiPCAT requests and
deliver on commitments made to HiPCAT. The institutional liaison is also encouraged to
sign the letter of intent, but this is not required.
An institution can have as many additional participants in HiPCAT activities as
desired. Additional institutional participation in activities is strongly encouraged to
ensure success of HiPCAT objectives. All institutional participants in HiPCAT will be
placed on the HiPCAT e-mail list and given access to the members-only area of the
HiPCAT web site.
