<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>First a note to our colleagues
that may not routinely attend CMC/CESG/ISO meetings.  We have made
arrangements for our regular CCSDS attendees and some specific guests (Mr.
Younes and Mr. Wang) to attend, with support from JAXA.  If someone else who
is not a routine attendee is considering attending, please notify the
Secretariat and JAXA right away.  We would be very happy to have renewed
attendance from organizations that have not attended recently, but we need to
know in advance.   For this meeting in particular, it is *<b>critically
important</b>* that attendees understand the requirements for their nation’s
visa process, and they contact JAXA/Narita (</span><a
href="mailto:narita.kaneaki@jaxa.jp">narita.kaneaki@jaxa.jp</a><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We will be setting up a “lite”
