[CMC] Fw: I am leaving CCSDS

[Jean-Francois.Kaufeler at esa.int]

Dear CMC colleagues,

It is with regret that I have to announce that I am definitively retiring 
from CCSDS. Since more than 6 months the ESA Director General has mandated 
me to review the IT organisation / governance in the Agency and to take 
over for this purpose another Department. My actual retirement date from 
ESA is December 2011.
Thus it is time to say good bye to CCSDS and all the people I know there, 
some of them since very long time. I have appreciated your company, your 
collaboration, your high expertise and dedication to Space 
standardisation. I am still more than convinced that this is an essential 
activity within and between Space organisations. The fruits of 
standardisation are enormous although not easily quantifiable and this is 
what makes the business case always so difficult. This will not change, 
therefore we need people like you who are convinced and pursuing this 
effort.
I will regret and never forget you as appreciated colleagues and wish you 
luck and success to you and CCSDS.

Best regards, JFK

Jean-François Kaufeler

PS. 1) Very soon ESA will nominate its Principal Delegate to CCSDS
        2) You can remove me from all distribution lists
