<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CMC Members, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Netherlands Space Office (NSO) recently requested to join CCSDS as an observer agency. Per their request, they were asked to fill out the attached Observer Agency Request form to provide CMC members with more information in order to
make a determination on their status as an Observer Agency. Please review the attached information provided by the NSO, and if you have any further questions, please email me no later than 20 April 2018. I coordinate any follow-up questions for the NSO with
their point of contact. I have added an agenda item to discuss the NSO’s membership status at the CMC meetings in May at our face to face meeting.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to seeing everyone soon, <o:p></o:p></p>
