ARXIV MEMBER ADVISORY BOARD DRAFT
Cornell University Library (CUL) holds the overall administrative and financial responsibility for arXiv's operation and development, with guidance from its Member Advisory Board (MAB) and its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). MAB represents participating institutions' interests and advises CUL on issues related to repository management and development, standards implementation, interoperability, development priorities, business planning, and outreach and advocacy. Representation on MAB is reserved for libraries, research institutions, laboratories, and foundations that are members of arXiv and that contribute to the financial support of the service. The MAB bylaws detail the goals, composition, operation, and election of the Board.[2|#_ftn2]COMPOSITION OF THE MEMBER ADVISORY BOARD

His research field is theoretical particle physics, particularly neutrino physics and physics beyond the so-called Standard Model. He is an author of around 90 scientific publications (most of them are available on arXiv) and one textbook "Relativistic Quantum Physics" published at Cambridge University Press. Recently, he has joined the debate about Open Access publishing, especially focusing on the "green" arXiv model (see Nature 489, 367; 2012). He has also written a popular science text about the theory of special relativity at Nobelprize.org. You can find more information on: [http://www.theophys.kth.se/~tommy/\\
