Export Control Review¶

This review uses Mach 30's draft Export Control Review Process. The Export Control Task Force (ECTF) is responsible for the shape of and guidance through the review process. The project team is responsible for using the review process.

1. Define the project and related topics in writing for future reference¶

1. Goals
   1. What is the vision of the project?
• To facilitate the education of Mach30 volunteers,undergraduate aerospace and high level high school students in Newton's law, fundamental performance characteristics, and fundamental design parameters in a laboratory setting with instructor involvement. Unit will be able to be built with commonly available components and 3D printed parts.

1. What ultimate purpose does it serve?
2. How does it fit into Mach 30’s strategy?
3. To what use will the results of the project be put?

1. Technologies
   1. What is the core technology the project will work on?
   2. What other technologies are necessary to accomplish that work?
   3. What words would an expert use to describe these technologies?
   4. What words would an average person use to describe these technologies?
2. Inputs and Outputs
   1. What are the project’s major milestones?
   2. What previous projects does this one build off of?
   3. What future projects will build off of this one?
   4. Does this project make use of any specialized, pre-existing knowledge?
   5. Does this project have any measurable or tangible outcomes?
3. Keywords
   1. What keywords/phrases summarize the previous answers?
   2. What additional keywords/phrases are relevant?
   3. Put those keywords into a thesaurus; what other relevant keywords appear?

2. Research the project’s relationship to relevant EC¶

1. USML
   1. Follow the DDTC’s Order of Review Decision tool
   2. Run all keywords identified in the previous steps through the text of the USML
   3. Run all keywords, along with words like “ITAR”, “USML” and “export control” through Google
2. CCL
   1. Run all keywords identified in the previous step through the text of the CCL
   2. Run all keywords, along with words like “EAR”, “CCL” and “export control” through Google
3. MTCR
   1. Run all keywords identified in the previous step through the text of the MTCR
   2. Run all keywords, along with words like “MTCR” and “export control” through Google

3. Document findings¶

1. Summarize the topic(s) that are explicitly mentioned in EC regulations and/or professional analysis/discussion of EC regulations
2. Explain any additional concerns
3. List searches and terms that turned up no relevant results

4. Triggers¶

1. If possible, define any measurable limits the project cannot cross and an appropriate margin for error
2. Specify, or guess at, any future dates when relevant information is expected to be become available
3. Maintain a clear distinction between information used as-is and any changes, additions, derivations, etc added by Mach 30

5. Reevaluate if a trigger is flipped.¶

Repeat this process if there are any major changes to the project. Update this report at each major milestone.
