<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>You should have seen a note
indicating your subscription to the CCSDS Reference Architecture BOF, or as CMC
has ended up calling it, a “SuperSIG”. My impression is that
we are indeed working in a BOF that is aimed at producing a concept paper in
consideration of chartering a CCSDS WG to produce a CCSDS-wide Reference
Architecture. To that end, I would like to propose that we hold an
initial kickoff teleconference next week. Could you please indicate if Wednesday,
09 December would be okay for you? The proposed time is 0700 Los Angeles/1000
Washington, Montreal/1600 Paris, Darmstadt, Munich, for one
hour. If that does not work well for you some alternate dates
would be Thursday 10 December or Friday 11 December at the same time of day,
but my preference is for the Wednesday date.<o:p></o:p></p>
