<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Dear SLS-OPT members,</span> <br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span> <br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt">At our March 13, 2018 meeting, we reviewed comments submitted by the Area Director regarding the draft High Photon Efficiency (HPE) Coding and Synchronization Red Book. During this discussion, ESA proposed restricting the uplink
to fixed-length data structures of AOS Frames. We ask that each SLS-OPT agency provide a position regarding this proposal via email to the SLS-OPT co-chairs (Bernie Edwards and Klaus-Juergen Schulz) by Tuesday, March 20, 2018. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
