    5 sandboxes is allocated fairly and efficiently.  Also, these policies
    6 should make planning out your time on ORBIT more reliable.

    9 the ORBIT community.  There are obvious ways to game these policies in
    10 order to obtain a great deal of time on the grid at the expense of other
    11 users.  Please don't.

    21 following day at some point between noon and 2 in the afternoon.  For
    22 example, if it is Tuesday morning before noon, and you ask for 4 to 6 in

    24 by 2 in the afternoon on Tuesday.

    26  5) Conflicts will be resolved based on how much time you've already used
    27 over the last two weeks.  Those who have used less time will be more
    28 likely to have their requests approved.

    30  6) It will still be possible to request time on the grid with less than
    31 12 hours notice.  This will be done using the informal system we have in
    32 place now; if nobody else asks for a time slot you have requested,
    33 you're automatically approved at the moment your time slot starts.
    34 WINLAB staff will do their best to resolve conflicts in such scheduling,
    35 but please do not base your plans on having such time available in
    36 quantity.
