1. Please see the attached message exchange with the OMG. Does any CMC 
member think that we need to formalize an agreement?

2. Referring to http://public.ccsds.org/participation/liaisons.aspx you 
will see that the "Object Management Group / CCSDS point of contact is Mr. 
Gregg Kazz". I would propose that perhaps someone from MOIMS might be a 
more appropriate person to perform this liaison. Do we have a nominee?

3. By the way, Martin, can you confirm the following Fall 2008 arrangements 
yet? --

FALL, 2008: Location - Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany; Host - DLR

-- CCSDS Technical Plenary:        13-17 October 2008
-- CESG work day (Area Directors): 20 October, AM and PM
-- SC13:                           20 October, PM
-- CESG/CMC joint:                 21-22 October
-- CMC wrap-up:                    23 October

Best regards
Adrian
