<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">With somewhat unfortunate timing, Dai Stanton told me yesterday that he wants to step down from his role as SIS DAD and moreover to stop work on CCSDS altogether. This is due to needing to look after elderly
relatives and Dai believes that he cannot do this and still sensibly contribute to CCSDS. He certainly cannot continue to manage the foreign travel that attending CCSDS meetings entails. This is unfortunate, but of course, family comes first.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
