[CESG] Misleading mail and date: [CCSDS-All] Spring 2019 CCSDS Technical Meetings - Mountain View, California, United States - Registration Now Open [CORRECTION]

Fri Mar 29 18:10:52 UTC 2019

Dear Michael,
        I shall share the concern expressed separately by Enrico about the 
fact that deadline of passport scans by April 5 communicated today is NOT 
realistic. 
For users travelling this can be indeed a major issue.

Moreover the subject of the e-mail is rather misleading as it looks as a 
simple reminder to those not registered yet.
In a period where e are flooded with e-mails, I would not be surprised if 
people already registered will ignore the mail after simply reading the 
subject.

I do recommend
1) send a new mail with a clear subject warning the non US citizens for 
the urgent request, and
2) extend the deadline for providing the information (at least for the 
scanned passports).

Of course deadline for registration should remain to 5th April.

I think this will be in everybody's interest.

Regards

Gian Paolo

Dear CCSDS Participants,

Thank you to everyone who has already registered for the coming meetings. 
To everyone else, please remember that registration for the spring 2019 
CCSDS Technical Plenary will close on 5 April 2019, in less than one 
month’s time. If your attendance at the meetings is tentative or if you

At this time, the Secretariat is still determining the best method for

As always, please let me know of any concerns or issues you may have.

States. The main technical meeting series will be held 6-9 May 2019. 
[Note: This will be a four-day technical meeting.] The CESG Meeting will 
be held on 10 May 2019 also at NACC in Mountain View. The CMC will meet

become necessary. Registration for this meeting cycle is opening earlier 
than usual to allow attendees from the United States an opportunity to
