Charge to the Trigger Board
			===========================

			    28 September 2004
1. Membership

  The Trigger Board Chair is appointed by and reports to the Spokes.
  Each Physics Group will have 1 representative on the Trigger Board.

  The Run Coordinator and up to two "at large" representatives who are
  appointed by the Chair in consultation with the Spokes will also be
  members of the board.
  
2. Creation of Trigger Lists

  Timely creation of trigger lists that meet the Physics Goals of the
  experiment (following guidelines from the Spokes).

  The trigger lists must be compatible with the predicted range of
  instantaneous machine luminosities, maximum L1/L2/L3 rates as set
  by the Spokes in consultation with the Run Coordinator.

  The members of the trigger board have the responsibility of
  ensuring that the work required to develop and test the trigger
  list is carried out.

  Approve of special runs and their trigger lists.

3. Verification

  Information and tests of the components of the trigger list should
  be brought to the TB for evaluation and certification.

4. Arbitration

  The Spokes provide general guidance for dividing up the available
  bandwidth according to broad priorities.

  Detailed apportionment of the resources will be reached by
  negotiation among the physics groups.

  If no consensus is reached the TB chair will make decisions in
  consultation with the Spokes.

5. Monitoring -

  Monitoring the physics performance of the trigger lists.

  Evaluating the needs of D0 triggering, providing feedback to the
  various trigger development efforts.

  The TB should also comment on/evaluate the priorities of the
  development of specific trigger tools as relates to the priorities
  of the physics groups.

6. Triggermeisters

  The Triggermeisters are ex-officio members of the TB who report to
  the TB chair and the Run Coordinator.

  The TMs are responsible for setting up the configuration files for
  the runs based on the TB decisions, keeping the documentation of
  triggers used, and to monitoring trigger performance.

  The TM are responsible for taking any emergency actions needed to
  keep the trigger operational.
