<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CSTSWG colleagues ---<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards always,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">John <o:p></o:p></p>
