<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear All,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">
for everybody's sake I would like to recall briefly
one "leit motif" of my approach about the Coordination between
SLS AD/DAD and WGs.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">As you know -
during the work within the WG - I have tried to attend WG Meeting as far
as possible to both reply to questions and to provide my technical/formal
hints.</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">For the latter
case I always tried to make clear if I was talking as AD, ESA staff or
personal opinion.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">After completion
of the work within the WG (with a WG resolution for Agency Review, Publication,
Project start/change, etc.) I have tried to respect my AD duties (in strict
coordination with Gilles in his quality of DAD) and particularly (with
respect to documents) but not limited to:</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">- to ensure that
CCSDS documents are properly categorized and that they embody the content
and quality expected of documents of their type; </span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">- to ensure that
all Area work follows the set of architectural principles agreed to by
the CESG and is properly synchronized with work in other areas and with
the smooth evolution of the large installed base of CCSDS-compatible mission-support
infrastructure; </span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">- etc.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">This is the reason
why sometimes I needed to interact with WG Chairs and delay the issue of
a relevant Area Resolution.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">It shall be kept
in mind that, after a WG Resolution, any document becomes an Area matter
NOT any more limited to the WG.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">This is particularly
important to<b> prepare for polls</b> (both at CESG and CMC Level) and
<b>during polls </b>(e.g. to produce SLS Area coordinated replies to Conditions,
comments, etc.).</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I hope that you
all will be able to continue in this spirit providing the best collaboration
to Ignacio and Gilles.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Thank you all
again for the many year of support.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Gian Paolo</span>
