+++++++++++++++++++++
It is critical that this document should get a very wide review,
particularly from industry. This is one of the "key" controlling
specifications of the space/ground interface, and we know that there are
many commercial implementations of the protocol deployed around the world.
It is thus essential that the industrial suppliers from all countries
should thoroughly review this (and any other such changes to the core CCSDS
protocol suite), so that our "installed base" is not de-stabilized.
Section 2.2.3 (Volume 2) of the Restructuring Plan addressed this issue:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C Industrial Relations
Achieving space mission cost reductions via standardization significantly
relies on the willingness and ability of the commercial supplier base to
invest in providing standards-compatible systems and equipment.
Although CCSDS has historically (and of economic necessity) been
Agency-centric, a new and formal mechanism is needed whereby the industrial
support base of all CCSDS Agencies can become more proactively involved
with standardization activities.
At present, industrial relationships are primarily administered on a local
basis, with each Agency supporting its own interfaces with its national
industry. However, this arrangement does not properly cater to the emerging
trans-national nature of space commerce and lacks a strong central focus
within the CCSDS organization. It is strongly recommended that the CMC
should formalize the "International Associates" program, using web-based
information interchange services provided by the Secretariat as a
day-to-day focal point for two-way information exchange. A prominent and
dedicated area of the CCSDS web site should be provided to handle this
dialog. Industrial user groups and interest groups be encouraged and
newsletters, workshops, etc. should be regularly scheduled to ensure that
their needs and inputs are heard.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I would like to request that the CMC should rapidly act upon this part of
the plan by setting up a web-based mechanism whereby the industrial base of
all Agencies is alerted to such proposed changes, and is given an
opportunity to comment and interact before any final decisions are made.
And, in particular, that this proposed set of AOS Pink Sheets should be
exposed this community.

Dear SFCG Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart and a sense of tragic
loss that I bring

Arvind Bastikar, of the Canadian Space Agency,
has died.
Arvind was driving to his home in Ottawa, from
his office in
St. Hubert (Montreal) on Friday, July
11, in the evening

automobile accident. Nobody

He leaves behind a widow (Joan), two daughters,

this time of
bereavement.
The family is in shock at this time, which is
why I was asked to inform all of Arvind's ESA, NASA, etc (SFCG)
colleagues. The funeral will be held in Ottawa later this
week. The date time and location will be
announced,
probably later today and I will send it

Sad news indeed. Although Arvind had not been able to attend many meetings
in the last few years, his contributions were always lively. I have fond
memories of an evening meal with Arvind and Peter Vaughan at a restaurant
near Frascati. Arvind ingored the menu and made a superb choice of food and
wine by negotiating with the waiter.
We will miss him

For those of you, and there are a number, who asked for Arvind's home
address, it is:

Subject: [CMC] Death of Arvind Bastikar
Message-ID: <806Hgomkc1648S08.1058302616@uwdvg003.cms.usa.net>
Dear CCSDS Colleagues:
I feel compelled to express to you my sadness for the loss of Arvind. Peter is
right, we will miss him.
Impressed by the intensity of travels that Arvind was so used to make, I used
to joke with him that he had his home on the road. I really appreciated him
very much. A very clever and open person, as I had the privilige to know him,
for so many years, in the realm of CCSDS. The Arvind I knew made no
distinction from persons, wherever they could have come from, while also
demonstrating a sharp sense of fairness and dignity, in his treatment, among
other significant aspects, also derived from his solid, professional
competence and experience. We also had, certainly, many happy moments together
in our many past CCSDS meetings, thanks to his refined and sharp sense of
humor.
I would like to propose that CMC may express and register a special mention to
him in the coming meeting.
Sincerely,
Eduardo W. Bergamini
INPE/CCSDS

Sad news indeed. Although Arvind had not been able to attend many meetings in
the last few years, his contributions were always lively. I have fond memories
of an evening meal with Arvind and Peter Vaughan at a restaurant near
Frascati. Arvind ingored the menu and made a superb choice of food and wine by
negotiating with the waiter.
We will miss him
Peter Allan
