    Policy for making public presentations of Belle results
----------------------------------------------------------------------

When a BELLE member makes a presentation on BELLE physics at any
conference, workshop, seminar or other type of meeting outside BELLE,
it should be in accordance with the following rules:

(1) The content of the talk should only include those results that have
    been presented at a group-wide meeting, i.e., BELLE general meeting
    or analyis meeting. No new results can be presented before a group 
    wide discussion.   Exceptions to this rule can be minor updates
    of a number or a plot.

(2) When one gives a talk at a conference, meeting or workshop, he/she 
    has to post the slides on WWW page at least one week before the
    presentation, and announce it to all the collaborators by e-mail.  
    (This rule does not apply to seminars.)

(3) The spokespersons can request that a practice talk be given.

(4) Submission of abstracts can be done without the permission of the group,
    provided it satisfies rule (1). All the abstracts should be available
    on the web.


* Note added to (1):                           [Decided at EB on 2014.06.23]

A new preliminary result must be accompanied with either a

- Draft for journal paper which is at least in the collaboration-wide
  review stage and has been approved by referees for conference presentation,

or
- Referee-approved conference paper posted in the arXiv.org before the 
  presentation of results.
