<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">To satisfy the last condition I have asked that the SANA produce an extracted set of spreadsheets from the SCID database that shows the frequency information that is available. I have asked that they send
these individual spreadsheets out to the registered Agency Representatives for each agency that has registered spacecraft, with a copy to the registered Head of Delegation (HoD) for that agency. A number of these are CCSDS observer agencies, in addition to
most of the member agencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">From a brief survey of the current entries in the AR and HoD registries I expect that this email process will result in a number of failures to deliver because people have left or retired and the agencies
have not updated their records. Of necessity this will also be an opportunity to bring these agency HoD and AR records up to date. I am asking the SANA to do all they can to contact the right people, but they may be reaching out to you, the member agency
HoD, and the observer agency HoD, for help locating the right people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
