July 11, 2007 Carl Engelbrecht, LPTC Chairman David Perry, Secretary Minutes - Liquid Propulsion Technical Committee, AIAA 43rd JPC Meeting, 8-11 July, 2007, Cincinnati, Ohio
Chairman Carl Engelbrecht called the meeting to order at 1900 hours on 11 July 2007 in the Hyatt Regency. The agenda for the LPTC meeting is included as Attachment 1. Thirty members and alternates were in attendance (Attachment 2). Action Items established during the course of the meeting have been added to outstanding action items from previous meetings, and are listed in Attachment 3. Attachment 4 is a reproduction of the presentation material used by Carl Engelbrecht in the meeting. The LPTC Steering Group (attendees are indicated on the Attachment 2 attendance roster) met prior to the full committee meeting (the meeting took place on July 9, between 1800 hours and 2000 hours); minutes were taken and the topics covered were discussed again in the general meeting. Key points and discussion from the meeting follow: Opening Remarks / Introduction Carl Engelbrecht started the meeting with welcoming remarks. The agenda for the meeting was also reviewed.
Old Business o David Perry asked if there were any comments or corrections to the minutes of the LPTC General Membership meeting in Reno on January 2007. No comments or corrections were received, and the minutes were then approved as written by voice vote. o The status of the action items was reviewed (see Attachment 3 for details). Items of note included: o Item 07ASM-4 was assigned to Eric Besnard. Eric is to determine if any of the remaining candidates for the YP award will be good candidates for the following year. It was determined that candidates are viable for two years and the action was closed. o Item 07ASM-5 was accepted by Carl Engelbrecht. Carl is to approach Purdue to see if they have an interest in providing a candidate to join the LPTC. Carl talked to his contact and the contact (Prof. Collicott) was already on two other TCs and the action was closed.

o New action Items o 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. Subcommittee Reports o Publications (Bill Wang) • Inputs for the 2007 Aerospace America Highlights article are solicited (see Action Item 07ASM-2 on Attachment 3). Inputs are due by the JPC or quickly thereafter. o History (Kent Pugmire) • Kent presented his report and the material is shown in Attachment 6. o Membership (Pat Sgarlata) • Pat Sgarlata prepared the charts shown in Attachment 7. • Five new members were proposed for new LPTC membership and three were accepted by oral vote Daniel R.

LPTC 42nd JPC Report July 2007 Cincinnati Meeting Status Report Past Lessons Learned
2005 COMMENT Room too small or too large Rooms difficult to find (inconvenient) Poor room layout Adjacent room too loud Need extension cords and lighting control Laser pointers, water for speaker No shows Speakers unclear about who provides laptop Lunch speaker took too much time Agenda posted outside room was incorrect 2006 RECOMMENDATION Session chair to estimate attendance during planning meeting Select sites with convenient access to rooms, provide maps and signage Arrange chairs and tables for best visibility (avoid columns) Acoustic partitions and volume control Extension cords and dimmable lights with controllers in the room Check list to remind session chair to have laser pointer and water Session chairs to revise agenda after authors' breakfast Include instructions in author's kit, remind at authors' breakfast Let speaker know time constraint and have moderator limit questions Session chair to update after authors' breakfast Dedicated person to update and release the latest agenda daily 2006 ASSESSMENT Estimates used to assign rooms for sessions All liquid propulsion rooms co-located, all sessions at one site Room layout improved, with tables in large rooms for better functionality Better acoustics, however some sound did travel room-toroom Better electrical setups provided Water provided, session chairs or speakers required to provide lasers Withdrawn and no-show papers noted on room placards Session chairs or speakers to coordinate laptops at breakfast Time limit held Withdrawn and no-show papers noted on room placards Errata sheet issued to note withdrawals, placards updated to reflect no-shows
•
Do not include withdrawn papers in final agenda
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 – Consider putting their papers at the end of the session
