<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Sami, CMC, et al,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seems that I need to point out that the CMC only has a role, as a courtesy, in being asked to propose candidates for WG and Deputy WG Chair positions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the CCSDS Org & Proc doc, A02x1y4c2, Sec 2.3.3.4, it is the CESG that approves WG and Deputy WG Chairs (<u>emphasis</u> added):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b>2.3.3.4 Working Group Chairs <o:p>
</o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><u>Working Group chairs are approved by the CESG</u>. Candidates for selection as WG chairs must be recognized as a leading technical expert in the field covered by that WG. Candidates may come from any organization
(including industry) and do not have to be employees of space agencies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">At the time of WG formation, the BOF may propose candidates for WG chair and deputy chair.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">NOTE – It is assumed that Agencies having interest in the subject are actively participating in the BOF.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">For existing WGs requiring a replacement chair or deputy chair, the respective AD may propose a candidate.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">For both new and replacement chairs and deputy chairs, in the interest of fairness, the respective AD shall also invite the CMC via e-mail to propose additional candidates and potential resources. For new WGs, the
CMC shall be allowed 14 calendar days to respond to such invitations; for existing WGs, the CMC shall be allowed 30 calendar days to respond.
<u>The respective AD shall determine nominees based on the proposed candidates, and final appointment of chairs and deputy chairs shall be accomplished by CESG poll.
<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">NOTE – A single CESG poll normally approves formation of a WG and appointment of that WG’s chair and deputy chair.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bottom line, the CMC does not “select the Chair nor Deputy Chair”. I wanted to make sure that there was no confusion about this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers, Peter<o:p></o:p></p>
