o New LPTC T-shirts were purchased by TC funds and handed out at the JPC. Kurt Kreiner did a great job on selection of the vendor and the quality of the product.

o New action Itemso Item 07JPC-1 was assigned to Kent Pugmire. Kent was to procure a video recorder

and tripod to record the history session presentation. Both were obtained and used in the recording of this session. Action completed and closed. There are two related actions (07JPC-11 & -2) to determine the method of payment for the recorder. Carl Engelbrecht is to request directors funding and Scott Forde is to approve LPTC funding to repay Kent.

o Item 07JPC-4 was assigned to Eric Besnard. Eric needs to send an email to Carol Steward that explains that the LPTC considers the Wyld award should be controlled by the LPTC and the solids subcommittee. Therefore the voice vote was 100% opposed to ratifying the present form of the Wyld award selection process. Item 07JPC-7 was also assigned to Eric. Eric is to nominate a LPTC selection for the Wyld award.

o Items 07JPC-5 & 6 are assigned to Kent Pugmire and Carl Engelbrecht. Both are related to gaining access to the recordings of previous years of the History Sessions. Kent is to get copies of the DVD form last year and Carl is to find out how we can access the earlier years for the CPIA.

o Item 07JPC-8 was assigned to Pat Sgarlata. Pat is to lead the effort to promote 4 Associate Fellows to Fellows and 3 Senior Members to Associate Fellows. It was suggested that we use the AIAA list of fellows to select members that would be willing to support this effort such as Clark Hawk and Mike Murphy.

o Item 07JPC-9 was assigned to Carl Engelbrecht. Carl is to talk to AIAA about the creation of separate ITAR sessions every other year at the JPC.

Past Lessons Learned

•2005 COMMENT 2006 RECOMMENDATION 2006 ASSESSMENT

Room too small or too largeSession chair to estimate attendance during planning meeting Estimates used to assign rooms for sessions

Rooms difficult to find (inconvenient)Select sites with convenient access to rooms, provide maps and signage

All liquid propulsion rooms co-located, all sessions at one site

Poor room layoutArrange chairs and tables for best visibility (avoid columns)

Room layout improved, with tables in large rooms for better functionality

Adjacent room too loud Acoustic partitions and volume controlBetter acoustics, however some sound did travel room-to-room

Need extension cords and lighting controlExtension cords and dimmable lights with controllers in the room Better electrical setups provided

Laser pointers, water for speakerCheck list to remind session chair to have laser pointer and water

Water provided, session chairs or speakers required to provide lasers

No showsSession chairs to revise agenda after authors' breakfast Withdrawn and no-show papers noted on room placards

Speakers unclear about who provides laptopInclude instructions in author's kit, remind at authors' breakfast

Session chairs or speakers to coordinate laptops at breakfast

Lunch speaker took too much timeLet speaker know time constraint and have moderator limit questions Time limit held

Agenda posted outside room was incorrect Session chair to update after authors' breakfast Withdrawn and no-show papers noted on room placards

Do not include withdrawn papers in final agendaDedicated person to update and release the latest agenda daily

Errata sheet issued to note withdrawals, placards updated to reflect no-shows

2007 Lessons Learned

• The AIAA online abstract/paper database interface still needs major improvements to the user interface – Recurring Theme

– All abstract and session planning still had to be done “by hand” in excel– Abstracts not separated down to the topic level– Papers had to be reviewed before being placed into sessions– Area coordinators did not have access to all necessary data– BUT, database “dumps” were periodically made by AIAA that did provide useful

information• 2007 Call for Papers was updated with bullets for each anticipated session topic – worked

better than previous – can still be improved• The move to a completely electronic conference did not necessarily improve the problem of

withdrawn papers, however, it did minimize their impact because the final program and errata sheet closely reflected what was actually presented

– Extended Deadline Made Some Issues with Printed Copy not Match Poster Board Listing

• Authors with multiple papers in the same topic area should be treated carefully (if they withdraw both a huge hole can be created) – still an issue (happened again)

– Consider splitting their papers between sessions – didn’t work this year

20


– Consider putting their papers at the end of the sessionATTACHMENT 10 (Cont)

LPTC 42nd JPC ReportJuly 2007


2007 Lessons Learned (cont)

• In order to conform with AIAA’s process, LPTC sessions need to be organized and labeled alphabetically by day

• ITAR continues to be a problem for paper approval• Some authors/sites continue to have problems with late withdrawals or no-shows• No Shows by Country

– China (2)– Japan (1)– India (1)– Iran (4)
