Level 1: Details are available only to the ALMA committee. (Not “Out”)

Level 2: Details can be made available to any member of ALMA (“Out” within ALMA)

Level 3: Details may be made available to anyone at the Committee’s discretion ("Out" publicly) (Consent to being included in publicly available resources i.e. ALMA website)
