+### PetaLibrary Ownership/Contacts
+
+# PetaLibrary Owners
+
+Every PetaLibrary allocation must have one owner. The owner is permitted
+to make any changes to the allocation, including file permissions,
+allocation size, and destruction of data. The owner is responsible for
+furnishing payment for PetaLibrary expenses.
+
+The owner may opt to replace themselves by designating a new owner, when
+appropriate. In the event a former PetaLibrary owner is not available
+to designate a new owner, the owner of the speedtype that was last used
+to pay for a PetaLibrary allocation may designate a new owner.
+
+# PetaLibrary billing contacts
+
+A PetaLibrary allocation may have one or more billing contacts. A billing
+contact may speak on behalf of the owner of an allocation, making any
+change that an owner would, except designating a new owner.
+
+If RC has a billing question about an allocation, and billing contacts
+are present, we will send email to the billing contact(s) and cc: the
+allocation owner. If no billing contacts are specified, we will email
+the allocation owner.
+
+# PetaLibrary technical contacts
+
+A PetaLibrary allocation may have one or more technical
+contacts. Technical contacts are largely identical to billing contacts,
+in that they may speak on behalf of the owner of an allocation, short
+of designating a new owner.
+
+RC will email technical contacts, if present, of an allocation regarding
+technical issues, and cc: the owner. In the absense of technical contacts,
+RC will email the allocation owner.
+
+# Recommended owner/contacts
+
+In most cases, PetaLibrary allocation owners are principal investigators
+for one or more grants. If the allocation is being funded with a fund 30
+speedtype (begins with 13), it is strongly recommended that the allocation
+owner be listed on the grant. The Campus Controller's Office may check
+that fund 30 speedtype charges can be associated with names on grants
+associated with a fund 30 speedtype.
+
+Billing and technical contacts can both make decisions on behalf of
+allocation owners, so the only reason we track them separately is so that
+RC has a better chance of contacting the correct people for billing or
+technical issues.
