| The Fermilab Community Task Force on Public Participation submitted its final recommendations to laboratory management in December 2004.
The purpose of the task force was to develop a set of mutual expectations for how Fermilab will interact with the community on issues that effect them both. Fermilab asked the task force to provide three types of advice:
 | Guidelines that Fermilab can use to identify the types of issues that need community interaction | | Recommendations for how Fermilab should interact with the community, based on the type of issue being addressed | | Recommendations for how Fermilab should keep the community informed about these types of issues |
Fermilab will use these recommendations to develop a comprehensive policy for public participation, incorporating community desires and concerns to the maximum extent possible.
Fermilab's Community Task on Public Participation is supported in part by the Illinois Consortium on Accelerator Research. ICAR's five member universities seek to ensure that Fermilab continues as a vital force in the forefront of international high-energy physics and an engine for scientific, economic and educational progress in Illinois.
