      DLR:  please include all linked files in 
the meeting folder (including as well CESG 
report) and include the name of the files in the 
report instead writing"see the following file"
      INPE:  It is suggested that the current 
paragraph in item 16.1, may be -added- with basic 
information discussed in the meeting that is now being expressed, as follows:

16.1 Liaisons: The CMC reviewed the SC 13 
liaisons list and agreed that it was more 
appropriate for the CESG to review the list and 
propose individuals to act as liaisons for those 
committees that are lacking a point of contact. 
It was mentioned by the ISO TC20/SC13 Chairman, 
Mr. Bergamini, that besides those ISO related 
liaisons which are in need of confirmation and 
definition of their internal (i) and external (e) 
individuals associated to their liaison roles, 
there are also other non-ISO entities, as also 
presented in the meeting, which are in need of 
such a confirmation and definition of the 
bilateral liaison contact individuals. Mr. 
Bergamini also mentioned that it will be probably 
the case where some of the non-ISO liaisons may 
end up being, if any, of interest for CCSDS only, 
but not of interest for ISO TC20/SC13. The major 
goal is that the list of liaisons may end up 
being the same for CCSDS and ISO TC20/SC13 but, 
with some clearly defined exceptions which will 
represent those liaisons of CCSDS interest, only. 
Associated, combined action items will be taken 
by CCSDS and ISO TC20/SC13, for reaching a stable 
list of liaisons, for both bodies, under the mentiioned, basic premises.
      JAXA:  Concerning the draft minutes of the 
Moscow CMC meeting, JAXA would like to propose 
deleting the sentence regarding the lunch 
presentation mentioned by JAXA, which is on page 5, for 15.Meeting Planning.

JAXA raised this idea supposing that it was still 
requested to suggest activities for the 30th 
anniversary of spring 2012 meeting (Action of 
CMC-A-2011-05-02). Since this is no longer 
requested, we no longer need this sentence.

Alternate proposal is to replace the sentence with the following;
  JAXA proposed an idea of lunch presentation on 
international/regional activities on 
space-technology-application. ESA will ask CMC 
members if presentation is required. [Secretariat 
Note: After further discussion after the Moscow 
meeting, it was determined that a lunch presentation was no longer needed.]

Results are based on responses from 6 out of 11 members (54.55%).
