<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">I hope that the others also support this outcome. I can quibble with the use of the term "</font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; ">networked multi-point links"</span>,
which mixes layer 3/4 concerns with layer 1/2 concerns, but that is easy to resolve. Just take off the term "networked", these are just "point to point or multi-point links … on board or proximate to a vehicle"</div>

<div><font size="2" face="sans-serif">Dear All,</font> <br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"> I would like to inform you that, with respect to the overlap issue discussed in the CESG, today SOIS and SLS Area have agreed today the following split of responsibilities:</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">__________________</font> <br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">SLS Responsibilities include:<br>
1) point-to-point links for Planetary Communications<br>
2) multi-point links for Planetary Communications utilising CCSDS data link and physical layer protocols<br>
3) consideration of usage of Radio Frequency bands over space-ground and space-space links
</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">SLS can therefore define mission scenarios/profiles for Planetary Communications, as well as functional & performance requirements and develop the pertinent Standards (Magenta or Blue Books) according to the points 1..3 listed
above.<br>
</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">SOIS Responsibilities include:<br>
A) networked multi-point links utilising commercial wireless network technologies for Communications onboard a space vehicle or habitat and/or surface links within the proximity of that vehicle or habitat.<br>
B) cooperation with the SLS Area for matters related to usage of Radio Frequency bands
</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">SOIS can therefore define mission scenarios/profiles for Vehicle and vicinity Communications, as well as functional & performance requirements and develop the pertinent Standards (Magenta or Blue Books) according to the points
A..B listed above.<br>
</font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Charters and CWE Projects of the affected WGs in SLS and SOIS Areas are to be made consistent with the above set of responsibilities (if not consistent now).<br>
