<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear John,</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">many thanks for this last endeavour of
completing the books for which you are ‘captain’ , but , actually, many
thanks for all the invaluable support that you have given to the Working
Group and the Area for so many years.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You have always been the “mind”( and
the heart) of the Working Group, and I am convinced that we managed to
reach our objectives mainly thanks to your engagement.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For me personally , it has been a great
experience to work with you. I will always remember all the interesting
discussions, the brainstorming, the exchanges of ideas… </font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I really regret that this cannot continue.
I do hope that this decision will be reconsidered at some stage, and
that there will be another chance to see you again in the WG.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Kind regards,<br>
Margherita</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Dear CSTSWG colleagues ---</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">As some of you may have heard, my Standards
funding from NASA has not been renewed, and the last day of that contract
is this coming Thursday. As you will see mmentarily, I have posted the
latest updates for the MD-CSTS and TD-CSTS books to the CWE. Both will
still need to be edited to reflect the final decisions regarding how to
cite the appropriate SANA registries, but other than that I believe that
they are ready for submission to the Secretariat for Blue-1 (or possibly
Red-2) and Red-1 processing, respectively.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">It has been my great pleasure and privilege
to have worked in CCSD for 29 years, starting with the AOS space link protocols
and transitioning to the original SLE development team, Service Management,
and, of course, CSTS. I have enjoyed your company and friendship over these
many years. I hope that our paths cross again.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Best regards always,</font>
