IAPPP Committees

It began with a list appearing in issue no. 3 (December 1980) of the I.A.P.P.P. Communications. I.A.P.P.P. set up a number of Committees to deal with various areas of activity related to photoelectric photometry as carried out by amateur astronomers and/or with small telescopes.

Over the next several years, these Committees were added to, consolidated, merged, or redefined. Starting with issue no. 5 (August 1981) current Committees, and their Chairmen, were listed on the Credo page of each issue of the Communications.

Some Committee Chairmen published formal Committee Reports in one or more issues of the Communications.

The practice of printing a detailed listing of current Committees on the Credo page ceased as of issue no. 27 (March 1987) of the Communications.

Information related to those areas of activity continued, however, to be exchanged (questions asked and answered, problems solved, expertise provided) without explicit recourse to the formal Committee structure. This information exchange continues to this day.

Below is a listing (by subject area) of all I.A.P.P.P. Committees that were, at one time or another, established.
