4. There was general discussion on the submission of abstracts
and the difficulty In getting them in a timely way. Many members
felt the Steering Committee members should be more forceful in
the association and possibly require a committee member screen on
presentations. This would assist with quality and timeliness.
Some members felt there should be greater recruitment for topics
from the production/development areas since research is already
so well represented.
5. Regarding the Harry H. Greer Award, there was discussion
about an Awards Committee being established, as mentioned in the
charter, to provide more structure and coverage in getting more
good nominations. The general opinion was that the current
method of presenting nominations to the current chairman for
further opinion is sufficient. However, the committee members
all agreed that nominations should be specific In detail
regarding the currency and degree of the nominee's involvement
with the Military Testing Association: professional contributions
in research/production; published material, etc.
6. There was general agreement that the 1989 carry-over topic of
"MTA name change" should be dropped from future MTA Steering
Committee meeting agendas. This has been a repeated item and the
historic continuity value of the current title is most important.
