During the ExoPAG 32 meeting, the Executive Committee intends to conduct a vote among meeting attendees on a proposed finding regarding a possible zero proprietary period NASA policy. Attendees are asked to review the text on the meeting program page if you intend to attend and vote: https://go.nasa.gov/4m3PjtX.

As always, the Executive Committee invites any member of the community to provide feedback and suggestions to the committee via the Suggestion (https://bit.ly/exopagsuggestions) or Findings (https://bit.ly/exopagfindings) forms. All submissions will be reviewed and dispositioned by the Executive Committee.

NASA’s Exoplanet Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) meetings are a vital platform where the science community can actively shape the future of exoplanet exploration. By participating in the ExoPAG, you have the unique opportunity to influence NASA by proposing and contributing to Science Interest Groups (SIGs) and Study Analysis Groups (SAGs). These groups focus on specific areas of study with goals such as gathering the latest information from subject matter experts, identifying opportunities to fill knowledge gaps in key areas, and contributing to the overall success of future exoplanet missions.

SIGs and SAGs produce reports and findings that are presented to NASA Headquarters, directly impacting the priorities and strategies of NASA’s exoplanet exploration efforts. Additionally, any ExoPAG member can propose new findings, which are then discussed, voted on, and potentially advanced to NASA Headquarters if approved.
