Abstract
Since the mid-1980s the SETI Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics started a study on the attitude researchers in the field should take when (and if) a serious candidate signal is detected. The results were published in a number of papers printed in a special Issue of Acta Astronautica (Tarter and Michaud, 1990) under the heading of SETI Post Detection Protocols. This research work was later at the base of a document with the formal title Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following the Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
