<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear All,</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">by the RFM WG
deadline 1)</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">
1) Friday 3 April
deadline to indicate the intended inputs (titles)
</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">
2) Friday 17 April deadline
to provide the actual inputs </span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I received five
input titles for the RFM WG meeting and two for the joint RFM/C&S WG
meeting. ESA's colleagues who proposed 3 of these 6 titles do not see any
urgency with them. I therefore propose that delivery of documents SLS-RFM_20-01
and 02 as well of the C&S "AI_19-13 – Proposal for simulation
channel model" document be delayed to the Fall meeting, where discussion
will take place.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">For what concerns
the joint RFM/DDOR WG meeting, I understand from DDOR chairman (Jim) that
the group would prefer to progress the wide-band DDOR recommendation that
has been discussed for quite some time.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">As such, I would
proposed that documents SLS-RFM_20-03, 04 and 05 be delivered as per deadline
2). </span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Given that the
face-to-face meetings have been cancelled, I would call for comments to
these 3 documents be sent in writing to both RFM and DDOR WGs by May 5.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I would then analyse
the received comments together with Jim and with the authors of the comments,
and try to suggest possible solutions by email correspondence. Deadline
for this milestone will depend on the number and severity of the received
comments. In case of a few open issues remaining to be solved, a short
and focused Webex may be called to address these items.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">For what concerns
the second C&S document proposed for the joint RFM/C&S meeting
and dealing with VCM (action item response), it would seem from C&S
chairman (Massimo) that it should be possible to come to a conclusion of
the VCM project by email correspondence. In any case, I am leaving this
decision to C&S WG since the action item is from C&S and apparently
should not have any influence on the VCM areas of interest to RFM.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Please let me
know if you are fine with my proposed way forward and if the proposed May
5 deadline appears feasible for reviewing the 3 inputs on the WB-DDOR recommendation.
</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I trust that you
are all safe and healthy,</span>
<br>
