SETI protocol
During April 1989, the International Academy of Astronautics endorses a draft agreement (entitled the “Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following the Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence”) prepared by a special subcommittee of the SETI Committee which sets out principles for any individual, public and private research institute, or governmental agency that believes it has detected a signal from extraterrestrial intelligence. (Commonly referred to as “the SETI protocol”).
