From page 1...
... Scientific satellites were explicitly included despite their use for decades in peaceful internationally conducted cooperative scientific research. It is widely recognized that the shift in regulatory regime from EAR to ITAR has had major deleterious effects on international scientific research activities that depend on satellites, spaceflight hardware, and other items that are now controlled by ITAR.
From page 2...
... Because most of the results of space science research are placed in the public domain, most space research activity qualifies as "fundamental research," which is excluded from ITAR controls as long as the research is conducted by "accredited institutions of higher learning." However, the bulk of government-sponsored fundamental space research at universities is conducted by consortia, including government research laboratories and private companies, and ITAR requires licensing when persons from other countries are involved -- and they usually are. Since the dawn of the space age, other nations have invested in developing their own capabilities and have thereby made themselves desirable partners of the United States.
From page 3...
... The United States has many space-related policy priorities in addition to national security, including space leadership, university excellence, and international partnerships. As emphasized at the workshop, all these national goals need to be considered jointly in the development of a system for controlling the export of space-related hardware and technology that is effective at protecting national security, but that does not inadvertently harm the other policy priorities.
