<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Keith has set a very high bar for performance in this job. NASA and the world’s other national space agencies have benefited deeply from his energy and commitment. Keith’s mastery of the technology,
grasp of the political and social dynamics of CCSDS, unfailing good humor, and really unbelievable patience are going to be hard for anybody to match. It is a darned good thing he’ll still be DTN WG chair.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Greetings all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">NASA will be switching their support for the SIS Area Director position, and I’ll be stepping down. The CESG informally recommended Scott Burleigh of JPL to replace me, and I believe that the decision is
now out for polling by the CMC. Assuming the poll is successful, I think the AD position will transition when it is complete. I’ll stay on as DTN WG chair.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As you all know, Scott has a long history in CCSDS, has supported numerous SIS efforts, and I fully expect him to be an excellent SIS Area Director.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For my part, I would like to thank you all for your work on behalf of CCSDS and for helping me shepherd SIS through some very interesting and exciting times. We’ve taken the first steps to realizing a Solar
System Internetwork, and achieved a foothold in space with the deployment of BP onto ISS and its integration into TReK. With the IETF work we have the possibility of benefiting from commercialization on a terrestrial scale. If that is successful, we will
also have successfully transitioned what could have been a space-only niche technology to be an enabling capability for a myriad of networks on the ground, including the burgeoning IOT realm. The Voice and Video books already leverage commercial specifications,
and will ensure efficient interoperability of those services as human space exploration moves forward. The CFDP revisions, once approved, provide (IMHO) significant capability advancements of the file transfer protocol into the networked era.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">All of this is thanks to your work, both technical and ‘political’. As you know, CCSDS specifications are not easy, between having to reach consensus, address the agencies’ and reviewers’ concerns, and securing
the resources for both specification and prototype development. You’ve made amazing progress and significant contributions to CCSDS, and it has been my pleasure and honor to support your work as SIS AD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
