The Institutional Board establishes governance policies for the DUNE collaboration and oversees governance-related matters. Its responsibilities include admitting new member institutions and collaborators, overseeing the co-spokesperson election process, electing at-large members of the Executive Committee, approving common fund assessments, establishing policies for detector operations shifts, and defining procedures for scientific publications and authorship.
The Institutional Board also may request presentations and discussions on issues related to the collaboration or the experiment. It may document the outcomes of those discussions and provide formal recommendations to the DUNE co-spokespersons.

Committees
The DUNE Speakers Committee coordinates and approves presentations on behalf of the DUNE Collaboration for scientific conferences and workshops. The committee ensures that presentations accurately reflect DUNE’s scientific achievements, maintain high standards of quality, and provide fair and inclusive speaking opportunities for collaboration members.
The committee reviews proposed abstracts, selects speakers and provides guidance throughout the preparation and review of presentations. It works closely with speakers to ensure scientific accuracy, consistency and appropriate messaging across DUNE presentations.
The committee also maintains a record of DUNE’s conference presentations and coordinates with conference organizers as needed. Through these efforts, the committee promotes DUNE’s scientific accomplishments and strengthens the collaboration’s visibility within the broader research community.

The Spokespersons Advisory Committee is an elected body that provides informal advice to the Spokespersons and does not have decision-making authority.
The Committee provides:
- advice and discussion on issues that require attention as determined by the Co-Spokespersons and the Committee
- a conduit for DUNE collaborators to voice opinions and advice that they feel they cannot provide directly
- an early-warning feedback mechanism for significant issues that a arise within the collaboration

You may contact the all members of the CRC at dune-crc@fnal.gov or reach out to individual committee members directly. Because information stored on national laboratory servers may not remain private, the committee recommends using alternative communication methods for sensitive matters. Individuals also may contact the committee to arrange a conversation without including sensitive details in the initial message.

The Collaboration Engagement and Development Committee works to advance the engagement and development of all collaborators within DUNE in support of the values of the collaboration, and to ensure DUNE activities and events are accessible to all members.
CEDC serves as the point of contact for collaborators with concerns or suggestions related to engagement, accessibility, and development of collaboration members. The committee consists of four members elected at-large by the full collaboration, and two members elected by Young DUNE. Members serve staggered 2-year terms.

The Education and Outreach Committee is responsible for education and outreach activities in collaboration with DUNE management. The EOC is appointed by the Co-Spokespeople. The responsibilities of the EOC include:
- Communication: Communicate DUNE Science to the public in cooperation with Fermilab, SURF, CERN and other stakeholders. The scope of support includes social media, public websites and press outputs within the communications strategy.
- Education: Initiate, organize and coordinate education and outreach activities related to DUNE science goals and technologies with DUNE collaborators and other experiments including as part of the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG).
- Resources and collaboration: Approve centrally used DUNE education and outreach material, collate and advertise resources for collaboration use.
- Reporting: Meet monthly to make decisions and delegate tasks, report regularly to the Co-Spokespersons, present new opportunities and initiatives at conferences and workshops.
Committee members are appointed for one-year terms and nominally serve for two years.

The DUNE AI/ML Forum is a new committee established by the DUNE co-spokespersons to support and strengthen the collaboration’s machine learning community. The forum brings together scientists from across DUNE to promote collaboration, connect members with the broader data science community, develop shared machine learning solutions, and provide training and benchmarking resources. The forum plans to hold monthly or bimonthly meetings covering a range of machine learning topics.
The forum’s meetings may focus on specific machine learning techniques and feature invited experts from outside the collaboration. The forum also serves as a central resource for machine learning expertise, including software tools and hardware resources, through coordination with the DUNE Core Software and Computing Group.
Two scientists from the DUNE collaboration will chair the committee. The DUNE co-spokespersons will appoint the co-chairs to an initial two-year term, subject to renewal, after seeking nominations from the collaboration and receiving approval from the DUNE Management Group.
Forum:
Jianming Bing, IC Irvine, co-chair
Leigh Whitehead, Cambridge, co-chair
