Dear Nestor,</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">During the recent CCSDS working meetings the topic of creating
</font><font face="Calibri">a SANA registry that, for each mission, listed the CCSDS standards used by that mission. This was initially raised by Mario during the joint SEA / MOIMS meeting. The suggestion at that point was that this could be linked to the already
existing SCID registry. </font></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;"><font face="Calibri"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;"><font face="Calibri">During the CESG meeting this topic was brought up again and at that point the statement was made that the IOAG was already working on some such registry and the proposal was made to request
that the IOAG take this aspect on as well. </font></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;">In CCSDS we do not have any formal method for sending requests from the CCSDS back to the IOAG, the flow always seems to be in the other direction. But this seems like a request that should go the other way,
thus I am addressing it to you, as the CCSDS Liaison to the IOAG. If it were in the form of a resolution it might look like this:</div>
