[CMC] CMC: flow of events for Athens meeting?

[Soula Jean-Marc]

Adrian, 

Of course I support the idea of an attendance to the space day.

Nevertheless, I've a question on the drawbacks of holding the CESG and CMC meetings  before or in parallel to the CCSDS Working Group meetings.
Obviously the CESG report cannot bring the most recent messages from the groups and areas if we place things in that order.
Maybe you have workaround solutions in mind ; could you please clarify ?

Best regards

CCSDS Management Council members:

As you know, the CCSDS working groups will meet in conjunction with the 
Object Management Group (OMG) in Athens during the week of 11-15 April 2005 
(http://www.ccsds.org/meeting/2005spring/index.html)

On Monday afternoon, 11 April, it is planned to hold a joint OMG/CCSDS 
Plenary session that the OMG loosely calls "Space Day". Its goal is to 
expose the whole OMG community to the standards work that is being 
performed in space. I would expect that this plenary session (3-4 hours) 
will be dominated by CCSDS, with the OMG's own 'Space Domain Task Force' 
(SDTF) being considered as an adjunct to MOIMS. Nominally, each of the six 
CCSDS Area Directors will be expected to deliver a ~30min comprehensive 
technical overview of their program of work and status. Nestor Peccia and I 
will be discussing the overall agenda and schedule for this Plenary with 
the OMG-SDTF people next week.

The CMC meeting is currently scheduled to be held on the following week 
(19-21 April). However, at this point it is not clear if there will be any 
OMG participation in that meeting. So, given the importance of the "Space 
Day" plenary on Monday April 11th, it occurs to Nestor and I that the CMC 
may therefore want to reconsider when it meets. One possibility would be to 
hold the CESG meeting on 06-07 April, with the the CMC meeting beginning on 
08 April and concluding on 12-13 April. That would allow the CMC to be 
present during the Monday plenary session, and to also have access to their 
OMG management counterparts.

The CMC is invited to discuss this possible meeting option. We should try 
to decide quite quickly whether to change the meeting schedule, since it 
will impact our needs for meeting facilities.

Best regards
Adrian
