<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I am writing for some updates about the ESA ESTEC participation in CCSDS, for the part concerning our WG.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">After several internal iterations, ESA ESTEC was able to increase partially the budget for standardization activities, and secure a ticket for Nicola’s attendance to Spring 2024 meeting and the related
manpower.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">However, given the last minute, Nicola won’t be able to fulfil the AIs for the S-Band proximity-1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">For partially recover the situation, I was still asked if I can allow at least one presentation for joint CS/SLP/RFM, mostly status update of S-Band proximity-1 and future work to be carried out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Since this announcement is well beyond deadline, I can let it only as
<u>informative input</u> (e.g., brainstorming, but cannot be subject to WG resolutions or agreements), and
<u>pending WG consensus</u>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In this respect, I poll the WG: Can you let me know, by April 19<sup>th</sup>,
<u>if there is any objection</u> in having the ESA informative presentation on S-Band proximity-1?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If no objections, I will adapt the final Agenda accordingly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Please finally notice that although ESTEC is trying to recover the lack of manpower for standardization activities, this will anyway delay the S-Band proximity-1 project in CCSDS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">For this reason, I will still keep the Agenda item for discussing the issue and possible fallbacks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on the input announcement, you can find the list of presentations that will be given this Spring meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the following days I will prepare the Agenda accordingly. Please let me know if I should have missed anything.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please don’t forget to send the final version of your input by <b>no later than April 12<sup>th</sup> , COB</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On top of this, I have to raise a major issue. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ESA ESTEC had to officially report that this year there was a severe budget cut for supporting CCSDS activities and attend the Spring meeting, and potentially also the next Fall meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This already impacted our WG activities: namely, Nicola M./ESA attendance to Spring 2024 was not approved by ESA on-time, and with that, Nicola will be unable to complete his actions of presenting an update for the S-Band Proximity-1 blue
books. This clearly will delay our WGs’ activities for the S-Band proximity-1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my role of Chair (that shall be balanced with my other role of ESA ambassador), I am in the opinion that we need to dedicate an Agenda Item for discussing the issue, possible fallbacks, and decide if the WG should report it formally
to SLS AD/CESG for possibly reaching CMC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
