Group Reports - meaningful technical discussion, promote collaborations
Concerns
Be sure Open Forum is scheduled at every Aviation & SciTech
Avoid coincident transition sessions/papers – Multiple Technical Committees
Sessions VERY well attended – need big rooms
Avoid coincident meetings (2014 USNCTAM and AIAA Aviation 2014)
Keep TDG on Sundays – Travel problems (opposite coast, Gov’t-travel restrictions)
Want projectors in the Committee meetings (Thank you for SciTech 2017)
Observation: Stability and Transition is a critical and enabling technical area
