</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CMC Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you are probably aware, the current Cross Support Services Area Deputy Area Director (CSS DAD), Margherita DiGiulio will be the CESG Chair, effective January 1, 2018. As such, there is now a need for a new CSS DAD. This email is to invite
the CMC to nominate candidates for this position.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, to the general CCSDS qualifications, which are listed below, here is my emphasis on the ideal qualifications for the CSS Area DAD:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">a)<span style="font-size:7.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Significant familiarity with agency TTC (Tracking, Telemetry and Command) operations and systems, especially as applied in an interagency cross support setting<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">b)<span style="font-size:7.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>A working knowledge of space link extension (SLE) standards and their implementation; familiarity with the Cross Support Transfer Services framework is desirable but not required<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">c)<span style="font-size:7.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>A good understanding of how the agencies TTC services are managed and coordinated, especially in an interagency cross support context<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">d)<span style="font-size:7.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Established interpersonal skills for coordination of international projects and development efforts<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note that the CCSDS procedures manual states that an AD and DAD cannot be from the same agency. Therefore, this request does not apply to NASA.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">General qualifications, as stated in the procedures manual are “...A candidate for selection as CESG chair, Area Director, or their deputies must have demonstrated the ability to function independently of his/her own agency’s agenda and
to be able to fairly lead the development of international consensus..”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A more formal statement about the role of the DAD, extracted from the current CCSDS Procedure manual and listed below. It may be helpful to review this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Given that this is recent development and that it is desirable to have a new deputy for the CSS Area established well in advance of the spring 2018 meetings, I respectfully request identification of nominees by January 12, 2018. A brief
indication of the candidate’s qualifications is much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
