13:21:41 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : Not to steal Timiebi’s thunder, but I’ve been studying the environmental history of space, and the fear of all 
things nuclear played a big role in creating the first environmental protection standards in space!  (That and West Ford...)

13:27:52 From  bill pugsley  to  Everyone : https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-change-newzealand-idUSKBN2BZ2T6

13:47:20 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : Here is a link to the Outer Space Treaty.
https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/introouterspacetreaty.html

13:56:07 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : Also, here is the Liability Convention.
https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties/liability-convention.html

13:57:22 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : LC article 1(a): “(a) The term "damage" means loss of life, personal injury or other impairment of health; or loss 
of or damage to property of States or of persons, natural or juridical, or property of international intergovernmental organizations.”

13:58:34 From  Dave Dougherty  to  Everyone : I have a question relating to damage to Earth's oceans.

14:13:01 From  Ted Manning  to  Everyone : Is the "ownership" and or sharing of space a model to deal with common property resources on earth?   Will common 
damage to the atmosphere, for example, be apportioned or not?

14:18:17 From  John Meyer  to  Everyone : Question:  Maybe a two-part system is more practical.  Part 1 would be meeting a standard that an international board 
would set for objectives and risk for any space effort.  Part 2 would be for liability if an approved effort went sideways.

14:20:31 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : ...and that’s not counting the half-dozen other proposed megaconstellations in development!

14:21:22 From  Scott Cassingham  to  Everyone : If there are performance standards for operation, then insurance can purchased to help cover costs.

14:21:38 From  Jean Dougherty  to  Everyone : I have a question concerning militarization of space and liability.

14:23:00 From  G V Buxton  to  Everyone : I have a comment regarding lessons learned from existing environmental treaties.

14:26:39 From  Peter Bulkowski  to  Everyone : Law works so long as there is adherence, voluntary or enforced, to the law.   Our history is that parties to laws 
adhere to the laws only until they decide not to (e.g., League of Nations).  And we have conflicts over water (e.g., Egypt & Sudan, China & Viet Nam & India & ...)  
How would you enforce any law for space when a country decides to not adhere?

14:27:19 From  david fisher  to  Everyone : For landers on other planets where there might be life, there  are presently  "Planetary Protection Protocols" that try to 
isolate the planet from terrestrial contaimination.  These are quite strictly followed, even if there might be an accidental landing.   The question would be "Are such 
protocols a starting point for the law?"

14:30:32 From  Peter Bulkowski  to  Everyone : NASA has published the map of resources on the moon, and various parties are developing concepts for use of those 
resources.  Are you out of time?

14:33:35 From  zack jacobson  to  Everyone : can a commons be infinite?

14:40:53 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : Not a question, but a reply to Bob’s super insightful comment--so what’s really interesting is that at present, 
satellite operators working in low Earth orbit (LEO) already pay “significantly over” 10-15% of their mission budgets on debris risk management.

14:41:05 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : Marit Undseth, Claire Jolly and Mattia Olivari, ‘Space Sustainability: The Economics of Space Debris in Perspective.’ 
 < https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/content/paper/a339de43-en >

14:44:45 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : Excluded from everything but the lion’s share of the funding, that is!

14:55:13 From  Cris van Eijk [he/him]  to  Everyone : Another big issue here is derelict satellites, which were launched before modern standards on debris, sustainable 
development, and environmental protection.  ‘Grandparenting in’ those objects to a new liability system will be a headache and a half for some poor committee.

15:09:15 From  Bob Walker  to  Everyone : Perhaps we could look at space activities through three groupings of activities: science, military, and commercial, where we would 
tailor the liability regimes to the type of activity.  The big growth is in commercial activities, so getting this right will be helpful.
