<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear All,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">so far I have
received only the input from SLS.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">We have to establish
the plan for the Spring "virtual" meetings, and then schedule
a date for the (also virtual) CESG Meeting.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Please let me
have you inputs by 29 April.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Thanks, and take

</span><span style=" font-size:9pt;font-family:sans-serif">Approach
for virtual Technical Meetings to replace the CCSDS Spring Meeting
in Huntsville</span>
<br>
<hr noshade>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear CESG colleagues,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">as you meanwhile
know, the Spring Meeting in Huntsville has been cancelled.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Together with
the CMC, we are evaluating the possibility to run some sort of "remote"
Technical Meetings, in replacement of the Spring Meeting.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">In the CESG teleconf
tomorrow, I will spend the first few minutes to outline an approach, to
just trigger some thinking on your side. </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The approach,
which entails some options, is the following:</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>1)</b> a
virtual Plenary Meeting ( e.g. via Skype or zoom) for all participants
looks unrealistic to do ( and it is not strictly needed).</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>2)</b> it
should be possible to run a light version of the face-to-face Technical
Meetings, by letting each Area/WG organise their remote work, with some
flexibility.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The following
options shall be considered:</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>2a)</b> the
WGs may/will schedule some sessions via Skype (zoom, or the like), during
the already foreseen 5 days of the Spring Meeting ( i.e. 4 to 8 May 2020),
or</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>2b) </b> extended
duration: the WGs may/will schedule some sessions via Skype (zoom,
or the like), during a period of time of, say, three weeks
(say, from 4th to 22 May).</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">It is acknowledged,
that some WGs may decide not to hold any remote session - due to e.g. too
different time zones of the participants .</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">At completion
of their activities, the WGs will provide their report to the AD,
as usual. </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>3)</b> A CESG
Meeting via teleconf will be held after completion of the (remote) Technical
Meeting, in replacement of the face-to-face CESG Meeting</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>3a)</b> in
case option 2a) is taken, the CESG meeting will be held on 11 May, that
is, on the date scheduled for the "real" CESG Meeting of Hunstville.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><b>3b)</b> in
case option 2b) is taken, the CESG meeting will be held at the completion
of the three-weeks Technical Meetings, that is, at end of May.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The aim of the
CESG Meeting is, as usual, to review the work done and prepare the Reports
for the CMC</span>
<br>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">For your info
: the CMC Meeting will be held via teleconf as well, 16 to 18 June.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">In that occasion,
either the ADs or myself will preset the Area Reports, as usual.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Please glance
through the options above, and start talking to your Working Groups.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">We will further
address all the above tomorrow.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Kind regards,<br>
Margherita</span>
