I agree that this could be a good pro-active move to avoid future problems 
with disruptive comments coming in through ISO. It also makes sense given 
China's emergence as a space "player". Presumably:

1. Someone needs to formulate a Resolution to invite China to become a 
CCSDS Member.

2. The current Members need to vote on the Resolution.

Peter: are you willing to introduce this as a formal CMC Resolution? If so, 
it would be useful to do this now so that the Agencies can develop their 
positions prior to the CMC meeting.
