12. 2004 July P&E Mtg SRTC.ppt 12 ISSUES Perceived trend towards lower quality papers at conferences Increase in number of cancelled or withdrawn papers at conferences ITAR –AIAA needs to take a leadership role in the ITAR approval process for technical papers –Leaving the responsibility solely on the authors will cause authors to seek other outlets for presenting their research. (e.g. JANNAF)
