<div>Dear SAWG team,</div>
<div><br>
</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><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><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><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>
