<DIV>Dear Peter,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate your efficiency in presenting this issue that was brought up
in our CMC </DIV>
<DIV>meeting we are helding here, in INPE. I had the privilege to be in the
meeting where</DIV>
<DIV>this question was posed to you by one of our attendants.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From my perspective, aware of the overall context of the discussions at the
moment</DIV>
<DIV>the question was posed to you, I got the feeling that it came up, I would
express it, </DIV>
<DIV>accidentally. I say it, because the main theme which was under dicussion
was not </DIV>
<DIV>centered on this type of subject, at that moment. Just that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As you are more aware than all of us, I understand that the major concern
of SA WG </DIV>
<DIV>at this stage of the work is to accumulate, as possible more, more man-hour
power </DIV>
<DIV>than other potentials, which may also be important.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From my part, I can readily express you that I have no proposal, at all,
for a Deputy</DIV>
<DIV>WG Chair. In fact, this issue came up to my mind only as a result of your
addressing </DIV>
<DIV>to us, as expressed. I do hope that, yes, SA WG may gradually count on an
increase</DIV>
<DIV>in the men-hours it is in need to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your kind pondering, Peter. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Congratulations for what SA WG is gradually achieving. In my opinion, and
you know </DIV>
<DIV>quite well, why, a very important initiative for CCSDS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kind regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Eduardo</DIV>

<DIV>Dear SAWG team,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>During today’s CESG report to the CMC the question was raised as to whether
we needed / wanted a Deputy WG chair. I am bringing the question to
you. Here are the questions we need to answer:</DIV>
<OL>
<LI>Do we want Deputy System Architecture WG Chair? There is no
requirement for one, but we can appoint one if we see value.
<LI>If the answer is yes, then are any of you interested in that
role? The WG Chair role is described in the CCSDS Org & Proc
doc, CCSDS A02x1y4c1, which is found on the CCSDS web site. Look
particularly at section 2.3.3.4.
<LI>If we do decide we want a Deputy WG Chair I will, as a courtesy, ask the
CMC if any of the agencies have a suitable candidate. Since there is
some prestige associated with having a WG chair or deputy some agencies may
propose other people, which also means more resources, always a good thing.
<LI>Depending on the outcome of all of this, which will take at least
three-four weeks, we will pick a Deputy WG Chair and I will propose it to the
CESG for concurrence.</LI></OL>
<DIV>So …</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Are any of you
interested in that role?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><U>Answers please by close of business, California time, Monday, 2 May
2016.</U></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, Peter</DIV>
