Other Comments • AIAA Tech folks were very helpful • Overall, I thought the online paper submittal system worked fine • I thought the online paper acceptance, session organization and program adjustments worked well • Mike Popp did an excellent job • Need to define what makes a special session • Invited only papers • Joint session, i.e. with ASME • Narrowly defined subject matter • Subject overview, i.e. management overviews of a topic • I don’t think you should limit session chairs to SRTC members • I tried, but had volunteers from outside who needed an excuse to come
