With the new Gemini International Agreement for 2016-2021 (see e-newscast #80 for more information), the Gemini Board has set the standard Gemini data proprietary period to 12 months. This is effective for data taken in semester 2016A and going forward and is applicable to all queue, classical, Large and Long, and Director’s Discretionary programs. The proprietary period was reduced from 18 months and continues to start on the date the data are taken. Extensions, curtailments, or waivers of any proprietary period are at the discretion of the Gemini Director. Please direct any requests for changes to the Deputy Director, Nancy Levenson. The proprietary period for Fast Turnaround programs remains unchanged at six months.
