text=The purpose of this page is to document and share issues of notable concern by Chairmen (Session, Technical, and General) regarding participants of a particular meeting that may resurface in a later meeting. This is provided for the education and benefit of future chairmen so that future conferences might not be adversely affected - it is not intended to vent frustration with particular individuals.%0a%0aIf appropriate, please recommend a potential course of action for the next Chair should he experience the same issue.  Likewise, if you have a positive experience at a later conference with a listed individual, please note that accordingly.%0a%0a(:toc:)%0a%0a%0a! 2009 AAS/AIAA  Astrodynamics Specialist Conference, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania%0a%0a! 19th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Savannah, Georgia (2009)%0a%0a! 2008 AIAA/AAS Astrodynamics Specialist Conference, Honolulu, Hawaii%0a%0a! 18th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Galveston, Texas (2008)%0a%0a!!

He ultimately failed to provide his contribution by the preprint-upload deadline.  I (the AAS TC, J.Seago) attempted to contact him after the deadline but he did not respond, so we forfeited his presentation slot two days before the conference.  Had we not had an upload deadline, I believe he would have been a meeting no-show.%0a%0a'''Recommendation:'''  Before accepting additional papers from Yosef Gavriel Tirat-Gefen, request an explanation as to why he failed to communicate or submit.  Suggest that he pre-register and/or submit his entire paper (in lieu of an extended abstract) before accepting.%0a%0a!!

The students submitted incomplete coauthor information and would not respond to emails, so we had to go to some effort to discover Zhigang's contact information.  We warned Zhigang that we were going to withdraw his students' papers because they refused to respond to session-chair emails.  After we got his attention, all three students independently confirmed that they still planned to submit their papers electronically, but were not going to attend.  (Not stated, but perhaps implied, was that they were not going to be ''allowed'' to attend, and that's why they ignored earlier emails.)  They uploaded their papers anyway, despite our no-paper, no-podium policy and our specific requests not to upload.%0a%0aAt first we thought their insistence to upload might be due to a language barrier, but now we believe that the professor is responding to a loophole in the obsolete AIAA procedures lacking a no-paper, no-podium policy.  Until a few years ago, the AIAA published the paper proceedings ''before'' the conference so the full papers would be available to attendees.  The result was that every submitted paper became part of the official proceedings, regardless of whether a presentation was actually made.%0a%0a'''Recommendation:''' Do not accept any paper that has Zhigang Wang as a co-author because of his students' premeditated disregard for conference policies and the extra effort their lack of communication causes.  Be doubtful of any author from Northwestern Polytechnical University actually attending - consider making paid pre-registration a requirement of abstract acceptance.%0a%0a!! Joseph Mosca, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University%0a%[email protected]%0a%0a'''Circumstances:'''%0a%0aProfessor Mosca supplied the following (rejected) abstract on behalf of an undergraduate student:%0a%0a"In the sport of rowing the drag is greatly important. Changing the drag will significantly impact the performance of the crew.  This topic has been studied in the 1960�s, but has not been  researched by means of computerized computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The following analyzes racing shells used by ERAU teams, with the CFD program STAR CD, to obtain drag coefficients.  Recommendations were formed to minimize drag. Riblet use to reduce drag is considered.  A model incorporating the design recommendations and the riblet use is prepared and analyzed using the same program. ''This method can be applied to spacecraft design''."  [emphasis added]%0a%0aHe was a co-author (advising professor) on another accepted manuscript with which we had very significant quality problems.  (We had failed to recognize that he was the submitter of the earlier rejected abstract until after the conference.)%0a%0aFinally, Professor Mosca registered at the member rate but he was neither a member of AAS nor AIAA.  He willingly offered to joined either organization after the GCs contacted him about his lack of membership, but he was reportedly impatient with the person voluntarily helping him acquire his membership on-site at the meeting.%0a%0a'''Recommendation:'''  I would be suspicious of the suitability of any paper originating from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that has Joseph Mosca as a co-author.%0a%0a!!Edward Belbruno, Princeton University%0a%[email protected]%0a%0aPaper AAS 08-182:  Resonance Transitions, Weak Capture, and Escape Transfers%0a%0a'''Circumstances:'''%0a%0aEdward requested to submit an abstract almost 3 weeks after the abstract deadline, and we accommodated his belated submittal.

Upon finding out the room block was already full, he immediately contacted the chairs by phone and email saying that he felt he "had met the [reservation] deadline" and would withdraw his paper if he could not get a room at the conference hotel.  Our GCs therefore went to extraordinary effort to renegotiate our hotel contract and increase our hotel room block specifically for his benefit.
