HyTASP Subcommittee Kickoff

• Doug Garrard, HyTASP Chair
• July 13, 2005

Introduction

• The current HyTASP Program Committee structure is
  very loose
• Membership is basically whoever walks through the
  door
• Specific tasks are handled by
• Ad-hoc groupings of members that get appointed at
  meetings
• Usually at the last minute so very little gets
  done
• Members that have historically done it before
  (Dave Stallings and the conference, for example)
• AIAA is pushing Program Committees to become more
  active and interact with the Technical Committees
  
• PCs are to bring an integration role to the TCs
  (see next chart)

Chairmans Comments

• Im not looking to create a bureaucracy
• Idea is to get the major activities worked
  outside the normal HyTASP meeting to improve our
  output in both quality and quantity
• Note the idea of having the steering committee
  review / edit proposals and having the committee
  membership only having an up-down vote (no group
  editing by 50 people)
• Weve got to do something on the membership
• I dont want something as extreme as the Ground
  Testing Committee, but we do need some control on
  who claims membership
• AIAA is pushing hard to get us, the PC, to
  interact with TCs to give them a way to broaden
  their influence and impact
• Current structure is too stove pipe to see the
  big picture

Now

• Time to sign up for a subcommittee!
• An email will be sent to the full membership
• Containing this presentation
• Requesting a reply back by the end of August with
  your preferred subcommittee
