<span lang="EN-US">Following up on our discussion on the topic of MO services infusion and my presentation at our last CESG meeting on the 24.10., I am reaching out to you to bring to your attention the following concrete opportunity. I would like to ask for
you active help, so that we pass as CCSDS a coherent and positive message in support of adoption of MO services for this particular use case:</span></p>
