<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">As
was announced by Margherita di Giulio earlier this year, Brigitte Behal
will be stepping down from her position as Deputy Area Director of the
MOIMS Area at the fall CCSDS Technical Meetings. There is now a need for
a new MOIMS DAD. This email if a formal invitation for the CMC to nominate
candidates for this position. Per CCSDS A02.1-Y-4, Organization and Processes
for the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems, Section 2.3.2.4,
general qualifications of a DAD are:</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">“A
candidate for selection as CESG chair, Area Director, or their deputies
must have demonstrated the ability to function independently of his/her
own agency’s agenda and to be able to fairly lead the development of international
consensus.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">A
candidate for selection as an AD (or deputy AD) must be recognized as leading
technical expert in the field covered by that Area and must have extensive
prior experience leading a specific standards development task within the
CCSDS, such as having served as a WG chair or deputy chair.”</span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">Please
note that the CCSDS procedures manual states that an AD and DAD cannot
be from the same agency. Therefore, candidates for this position

may be helpful to review this in considering candidates for this role.</span></p>
