<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Deear Eduardo & Ramon,</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">My thanks to both of you for taking the time to provide thoughtful comments on this.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The role of WG Deputy Chair is not even really defined in the CCSDS Procedures because it was never seen as essential. That said, it is indeed useful in that it provides a “backstop” for the WG Chair, offers the opportunity
to broaden agency involvement, and is a path into leadership for those who wish to expore that. At present many of the WG now have deputies, in part because this has been informally encouraged by the CESG Chair.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">I</font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"> do not think that it is a significant resource commitment because the level of support necessary to provide WG continuity can probably be provided by anyone who is paying attention
to what the WG is doing at any given time. Figuring out the path forward does, however, take more effort.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">So the questions remain: do we ned a WG deputy chair and is anyone interested in that role.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">I</font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"> am open to the possibility, and so if no one wishes to step up, and if no one strongly objects to the idea itself, I will ask the CMC if they have any </font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">candidates.
Agreed?</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Thanks, Peter</font></div>

<div>Dear Peter,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think I understood the essence of Ramon’s comment.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In particular, I appreciated his conclusive comment ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“<span style="FONT-FAMILY: "><font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><em>It appears that appointing a deputy chair would incur no cost on the working group, and could add to the working capacity of the group.</em></font></span>”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>considering that we are much aware of the critical importance of </div>
<div>adding men-months power to the SA WG and, hopefully, perhaps,</div>
<div>alleviate the heavy working load you have in your hands, so far.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>at the same time, to Ramon’s judicious comment ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“<font style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><em>That’s a non-trivial level of commitment</em></font>”
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would add that, if the deputy may eventually share or temporarily </div>
<div>take over, partially or not, the work load and responsibility of the </div>
<div>WG Chairman, continuity of the on going work of the WG would be</div>
<div>better guarantee.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a very clear view of the -very- stringent man power limitations</div>
<div>within CESG but, at the same time, I also understand that CESG </div>
<div>Directorship and CMC can handle this issue should a proposal come</div>
<div>out from SEA - SA WG.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div>Eduardo</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri",sans-serif">The role of the deputy chair in the CCSDS organization book seems to be to serve where and when the chair cannot. That’s a non-trivial level of commitment, even if it is
never invoked, because the deputy must be ready. It’s probably beneficial to draw the deputy from an agency different from that of the chair, in order to recognize the breadth of importance of the work of the group among agencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri",sans-serif">I saw a spread sheet a few years ago that showed that a significant number of working groups had no co-chair (which I think is the same a deputy). If I remember correctly,
there were as much as a third of the working groups in that status at that time. I don’t know how that situation has evolved, but its current state compared to the previous state would tell us something about the value of deputies in the CCSDS organization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
