<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear James,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Looking at the points raised by CESG,
I can see several important ones justifying to stay affiliated with ISO,
like the adherence to the ISO patent declaration, avoiding overlap with
ISO standards and keeping the balance with the European Cooperation for
Space Standardisation (ECSS). </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If the financial burden is excessive
for NASA then one could think of asking CCSDS member Agencies to contribute
to cover the costs via CCSDS membership fee.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi All,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="sans-serif">CCSDS secretariat is considering to
sever the CCSDS affiliation with ISO due to cost of implementation of ISO
requirements and associated fees. The consequence are the CCSDS standards
will not be ISO standards and there will be no ISO TC20/SC13 and ISO TC20/SC14
affiliation with CCSDS. I need to make an urgent decision in this
matter so please provide your input by COB Thursday December 3. Also
a formal CMC poll will be provided for your official vote very soon.</font>
