Information Technology Initiative • Goal – SMG Sponsored NIS initiative to increase AIAA accessibility and improve participation by leveraging info technology • Premise – Maintaining role as ‘world’s pre-eminent aerospace society’ implies that we need to evolve and adapt as new communications tools are available • Background – mini-survey conducted in October 2010 • Ironically, technical committee meetings are often the least ‘technical’ meetings you can find! • Limited access to telecon, internet, shared services, etc.
Technology Initiative • 1) set aside $5K for Space 2011 (approximately a 0.9% portion of total budget) • Solicit candidate ideas for integrating technology into tech program – example – SLTC concept for webcasting sessions to students in Europe • Since Space is a SMG conference, this seems to be an SMG decision • 2) Provide each TC chair with Telecon and Webex account • Used for TC business, including regular meetings and other working activities • Basic cost for individual Webex account is $50/month, with no negotiated rates (Assume that an AIAA group package would be 1/5 of this) • 3) Provide each TC with an auto-distribution list for TC members • 4) Negotiate conferences based on availability of IT – telecom lines and equipment, projectors, etc. • 5) Identify common TC business activities – membership lists, awards nomination process, etc. – and develop work process tools to make easier
