<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>thank you for
the draft.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>As an ESA SIG
member, it is my opinion that the creation of a new WG is still premature,
while the SIG should first finish the work it was supposed to do.</span> <br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In particular,
I believe that the SIG should finalize the white book on "Optical coding
and modulation". Eventually, once the material is more mature, a Green
Book may be delivered.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In any case,
some more time and supporting material will be necessary to understand whether
ESA can partecipate to the work, due to the internal approval process.</span> <br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I would suggest
coming back to this at the London meeting, after the technical discussions are
over.</span> <br>
<br>

<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>P.S. By the
way, at the Virginia Beach meeting I raised a number of objections to the
assumptions put forward for some of the scenarios, i.e. LEO-ground, but I
couldn't find any trace of them</span> <br>
