[CMC] RE: IOP-2 Agenda - SFCG, CCSDS, SIAG Presentations

[Hooke, Adrian J]

CMC Members: as you may know, Mike is currently undergoing surgery. In his absence, are there any objections to the proposal from NASA concerning the CCSDS presentation at the second Inter-Operability Plenary? It certainly appears to contradict the consensus of the CMC that was expressed during the recent meeting in Berlin, i.e., that the CCSDS is an independent body and that it should be left to the CMC to determine who represents the organization to the IOP.

Please respond no later than COB on Friday, 07 November.

Best regards
Adrian Hooke
Chairman, CESG and IOAG Liaison

Subject: [CMC] IOP-2 Agenda - SFCG, CCSDS, SIAG Presentations

On behalf of the IOP-2 Chair Badri Younes/NASA , I am sending the following message:

"The IOP-2 agenda that has been drafted by the IOAG delegates  is attached.  As IOP-2 Chair I wish to review this draft agenda with you before finalizing.

A contingent of IOAG delegates from ASI, CNES, ESA, JAXA, and NASA had the opportunity to discuss the agenda last week on the margins of another meeting.  This body selected speakers for the various IOP-2 agenda topics, as indicated in the attachment.  These IOAG delegation selections followed the following guiding principles:

        1.  spread the presentations among the IOAG delegations
        2.  the IOAG delegations should make the presentations to its parent body, the IOP.
        3.  the individual IOAG presenters should also be members of the individual forum (e.g., SFCG) which they will represent.  In this vein it is expected that the presenters will coordinate their presentations with the other members of their forum.

Before I finalize the IOP-2 agenda I would like to understand any different views that you may have as the chairpersons of the subject bodies, keeping in mind the focus of the IOP.  In the absence of Mike Kearney, a single coordinated response from the CCSDS Management Council should be provided.
Badri Younes"
