[Ground-station] Call for Input - meeting with legal team about ITAR/EAR results

[Samudra Haque [TTLLC]]

I wonder if  an ITAR compliance checklist (a check off style web form) for contributors could be used when they upload/share content? At the very least it could contain a public URL / bibliography / citation of research materials utilized in a project. Could also be a free form submission – though that would be harder to keep track of.

Yes, that was the message we got during the original AMSAT screw-up that led to Lyle and Chuck heading for the hills. But part of the message then was that what counted as "public" was subject to interpretation. I would like to believe this has been clarified.

Yes, I wrote this a long time ago and I believe it's still on the ORI site. Essentially the rule is absolutely everything has to be done in the public.

Q: Is there one simple rule of thumb that can be relied on to keep you out of trouble with ITAR/EAR?

Call for Input: Meeting tomorrow (Thursday, 9 September 2021) with Thomsen and Burke about the ITAR/EAR regulatory results. They want me to bring misconceptions and frequently asked questions in order to better craft a FAQ and implementation guidelines.

Quotes would help, but paraphrasing any objections you have heard would be just as useful.
