<div>Dear CMC and CESG members,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The CCSDS does not yet have anything like a formal procedure for soliciting candidates for new (or re-started) working groups. That said, as the SEA AD I would like to solicit candidates from the CMC and the CESG to chair the SEA System Architecture
WG that is now being proposed for re-start. If you have qualified candidates that you would like to propose please send their names to me no later than 5 October 2015.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have other persons who are interested in the work, but not interested in leading the effort, I would also like to solicit their names. As described in the last two CESG reports to the CMC the overall body of work that is proposed includes:</div>
<div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<ul>
<li>Create CCSDS Reference Architecture for CMC (“cartoon” and formal model) </li><li>Develop a formal ontology for CCSDS and related XML schema guidelines </li><li>Refresh Reference Architecture for Space Data Systems (RASDS) </li><li>Develop a process for sustaining the reference architecture, ontology and schema </li><li>Develop a CCSDS wide registry management policy to guide the WGs and SANA operator </li></ul>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div>I would like to meet as a WG at the upcoming meeting in Darmstadt. Even if we cannot accomplish that we will meet again as a BoF.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards, Peter</div>
