<div>Dear Harald,</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Thank you for your email. I believe there is some misunderstanding. No decisions will be made today. However, we are going to explain to the working group members what the various options are based on our discussion with Gian Paolo
at ESA. That will allow the members to discuss the situation with their management. We can then discuss the path forward at the face-to-face meeting. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I understand if ESA does not want to discuss the path forward at the face-to-face meeting. We can consider that request when the time comes. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">Very respectfully,</div>
