		⚫	* Any number of coworkers can join the RV to work with the cluster. They need to be provided with the RV password and acronym.
			* There is no need to register more than one RV per group. Just include all intended compute activities in the abstract to one RV.
			* Research topic abstracts are updated when the RV is renewed for another year. Please include new or changed compute activities at that time.
	* To be notified about important issues via the cluster's mailing list, it is necessary to finish all three registration steps. If you don't plan to work with the cluster yourself, we recommend to either register nevertheless or ask a colleague who is going to use the cluster to keep you updated. For better transparency, that colleague could receive the ''RV manager'' role from you.		* To be notified about important issues via the cluster's mailing list, it is necessary to finish all three registration steps.
