- [ ] **14.  Project reporting responsibilities**

* Your project (L3S-2 or ESR2) is part of WP3  and involved in D1.1 and D1.2 (see Section 3.1.1.3 of the GA: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1g-XSyerjNOLAyq9-PBVvT9wCjWM-RmOE) lead by KULEUVEN and LUH respectively. Please ask the corresponding ESR/PIs what is the status, delivery date and what/how you should contribute.  Or, ask Gourab if he has an overview.

* Also check what other deliverables/ tasks/milestones are related to your project (L3S-2 or ESR2) in the GA and what is their timeline

- [ ] **15. Secondments**

* Original planning and comments/todos, see also progress report (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1525XjYa8iIstpWPJerig7TQHiQAY60B2P-I6TwAGbjA/edit#), in which I have tagged you in a few places and probably you took care of them already.

    * OU [M14–M17, Alani]: To investigate the role of semantic knowledge bases and structures in bias analysis over social media streams.
        * In the progress report, we say shifted to M26-M28 (tentative, dependent on Covid restrictions)
            * The tentative refers to whether will take place in-person or online I assume, please update to make it more clear
            * Contact Harith and Miriam with me in cc, is this a good time for them? First ask about timing and then you should send them a proposal for the secondment (similar to Simone, you can talk to him) and please talk to their ESR to identify topics of common interest.

    * ExpertSystem [M24–M26, Gómez Pérez]: Discovery and elimination of bias in the analysis of user usage streams in audience measurement applications.
        * If now the first secondment is shifted, the second one has also to be shifted (they are currently overlapping) for +6Months at least. Again contact ExpertSystem if they are fine with this change (you can ask Gourab for contact data and also check in the GA whether some other ESR will have a secondment there; in this case, you should contact them together but again keep Gourab in the loop)
    * NORDLB [M34–M36, Kalish]: Bias detection in banking (loan applications) streams.
        * We have to find a new industrial collaborator for this. Schufa might be an option, they are already in the consortium. Please talk to their ESR whether there are joint topics of interest and then contact the corresponding PI if they are interested in another secondment.
            * @Siamak Ghodsi: the bank industry might be a good secondment candidate. NordLB (The one we had before) is also a bank
            * Siamak Ghodsi  28 days ago
True. Do we have any other bank options though

            * Eirini  2 days ago
The guys from Italy that presented in our seminar some time ago.
 
            * Siamak Ghodsi  < 1 minute ago
That's a good idea. I'll write it down to contact them at some point.


* Please create a webpage, the one cited from NoBIAS is empty: https://www.l3s.de/~ghodsi/
* Dear all, Since many of you are planning to make changes to your ESR's secondment(s), please use the attached template for formal notification on secondment changes. I have underlined the parts which needs to be appropriately filled and signed by the ESR, PhD supervisor(s) and the corresponding host supervisor(s). Note that for any change (w.r.t. time, period, host) to ESR secondments, we need to submit a formal notification. 
    * Apart from the formal notification, please do reflect the changes in the following secondment-tracking document. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10PUopShmGH0TMftGLS3W9KPJdDBPUHxd48QdLZ_Ej0s/edit?usp=sharin
