<p class="MsoNormal">Only attendees from CNES and ESA are expected to be able to attend CCSDS meetings this fall in-person. Considering attendance at the fall 2019 meetings, the working groups that have decided to meet remotely, and that some individuals may
choose not to travel, I would expect potential attendance of this years meetings to be 40-50 individuals at most. All working groups would be forced to meet in a hybrid style with large remote participation.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With these considerations in mind and speaking from the Secretariat’s point of view, I would recommend CCSDS hold remote meetings again this fall.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">I am awaiting feedback from the UKSA technical representatives as the rules differ between institutes. The national position is that foreign travel is allowed according to the government’s traffic
light system but is still discouraged. Most institutes are taking a cautious approach and allowing only what is considered essential travel.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">This is currently the case for my organisation, we have recently moved to a more relaxed situation but foreign travel is still restricted requiring director level approval and limited to what is
deemed business operations critical. A change relaxing foreign travel on the timescale of the CMC meeting is not anticipated and therefore I do not expect to be able to attend the meeting in person. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">With so many CMC members being out of the office during August it proved too difficult to schedule a midterm CMC meeting with a majority of members present. I will be starting a new poll to select a date in September
for the CMC’s midterm meeting. CNES requires a decision about hosting the fall CCSDS meetings in-person as quickly as possible. I would ask that each CMC member reply to this email sharing their agency’s position on in-person attendance for the fall CCSDS
meetings, scheduled 18-28 October, 2021. Having conferred with Sami Asmar, I have included NASA’s position in this message.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">In preparing a schedule for the technical meetings, I have learned that CCSDS’s Data Archive Interoperability, Onboard Wireless, and Optical Communications Working Groups have decided that they will meet remotely
this fall regardless of CCSDS’s decision. I know of two other working groups that are currently discussing this possibility. Please take this into consideration when forming your agency’s position.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">NASA’s travel policy at the moment is mixed as each center has determined their own travel policy based on national and local regulations. No attendance from NASA-JPL will be possible. Though NASA-GSFC NASA-MSFC,
and NASA-JSC attendance would be possible under their current policies, we expect this not to be the case by 18 October 2021. The United States Centers for Disease Control has placed the United States and France on their list of countries with Very High risk
of COVID transmission. We do not expect travel for non-mission critical events to be possible beginning shortly.<o:p></o:p></p>
