CMC Chair,
I consider the call for nominees for the Deputy Area Director position for the CSS Area to be now closed, given the original deadline that was set of 12 January 2018. To date, only ESA has replied with the nomination of Dr. Colin Haddow. The complete set of email exchanges is included below for reference. From my perspective, Dr. Haddow is eminently qualified to take on this role.
I respectfully request that the CMC consider confirming Dr. Haddow as the new Deputy Area Director for the CSS Area.

Dear Juan,
Thank you very much for nominating Colin Haddow for the CSS Area Deputy Director position. From my perspective Dr. Haddow is most definitely qualified for this position.

Dear Erik, dear CMC members,
concerning the nominations for CSS DAD, ESA proposes Colin Haddow for this position
Find below a resume of Colin Haddow
Colin has been a member of the CCSDS Service Management Working Group for the last 10 years and deputy Working Group Chair for the last 4 years. He is the lead author on 4 of the recommendations being prepared by the working group;
1. Simple Schedule Format Specification
2. Service Management Utilization Request Formats
3. Planning Data Formats
4. Terrestrial Generic File Transfer.
He has a good working knowledge of the space link extensions, having been involved with the design and implementation of the telemetry and telecommand subsystems on a number of mission control systems. In addition he led the design and implementation of the ESA Network Interface System (NIS) that is used by ESA to establish links between mission control systems and ground stations. The NIS implements the SLE RCF, RAF, ROCF, FSP and FCLTU services.
Operational experience in supporting missions, especially the telemetry and commanding subsystems, have provided him with a good familiarity with the operational aspects of TTC both internal to ESA and in the context of cross support. He has also been involved with, and in some cases has led, the standardisation of internal ESA interfaces, between the mission control systems, flight dynamics and the ESA Tracking network (ESTRACK). This has given him considerable insight into the scheduling and coordination aspects of the ESTRACK.
His ongoing involvement in the Service Management Working group have demonstrated his interpersonal skills with respect to the coordination of international projects and development efforts.
I hope I have provided enough background about Colin, who is well known in CCSDS and I am willing to further information if needed.

________________________________
CMC Colleagues,
As you are probably aware, the current Cross Support Services Area Deputy Area Director (CSS DAD), Margherita DiGiulio will be the CESG Chair, effective January 1, 2018. As such, there is now a need for a new CSS DAD. This email is to invite the CMC to nominate candidates for this position.
In addition, to the general CCSDS qualifications, which are listed below, here is my emphasis on the ideal qualifications for the CSS Area DAD:
a) Significant familiarity with agency TTC (Tracking, Telemetry and Command) operations and systems, especially as applied in an interagency cross support setting
b) A working knowledge of space link extension (SLE) standards and their implementation; familiarity with the Cross Support Transfer Services framework is desirable but not required
c) A good understanding of how the agencies TTC services are managed and coordinated, especially in an interagency cross support context
d) Established interpersonal skills for coordination of international projects and development efforts
Note that the CCSDS procedures manual states that an AD and DAD cannot be from the same agency. Therefore, this request does not apply to NASA.
General qualifications, as stated in the procedures manual are “...A candidate for selection as CESG chair, Area Director, or their deputies must have demonstrated the ability to function independently of his/her own agency’s agenda and to be able to fairly lead the development of international consensus..”
A more formal statement about the role of the DAD, extracted from the current CCSDS Procedure manual and listed below. It may be helpful to review this.
Given that this is recent development and that it is desirable to have a new deputy for the CSS Area established well in advance of the spring 2018 meetings, I respectfully request identification of nominees by January 12, 2018. A brief indication of the candidate’s qualifications is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Erik Barkley

>From CCSDS A02.1-Y-4, April 2014:
For refence, The DAD role: “…The DAD is responsible for performing the functions of the AD in the AD’s absence. DADs may assist ADs in performance of functions, and DADs are expected to participate in the CESG consensus process…”
For reference, the role of the AD for which the DAD is the deputy:
“…An Area Director is responsible for the work done in his or her WGs, BOFs, and SIGs and is
specifically responsible for the following:
a) being a member of the CESG as the single representative of the CCSDS technical
Area;
b) screening all proposals to form new WGs that are brought forward by BOFs to make
sure that they are supported by required documentation and their technical focus is
vectored toward the goals and objectives of CCSDS;
c) making recommendations to the CESG concerning approval for the chartering and
formation of WGs;
d) ensuring that CCSDS documents are properly categorized and that they embody the
content and quality expected of documents of their type;
e) making recommendations to the CESG for the progression of WG documents as they
approach key decision gates along the various document tracks;
f) demonstrating and certifying that formal review procedures have been properly
followed prior to recommending the advancement of a document;
g) communicating the dates of CESG meetings to the WG, BOF, and SIG chairs so that
they may schedule the completion of their work prior to this time;
h) notifying the WG, BOF, and SIG chairs as to how and when their work is to be
presented to the AD for review;
i) deciding if Area meetings are to be held, and if so, setting the date, location, and
agenda for each Area meeting (it is strongly recommended that periodic face-to-face
co-located meetings of the WGs, BOFs, and SIGs in a particular Area should be held
to maximize opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas);
j) chairing Area meetings, ensuring that every WG, BOF, or SIG presents its work in a
satisfactory manner and that Area decisions are made through a process of consensus;
k) ensuring that all Area work follows the set of architectural principles agreed to by the
CESG and is properly synchronized with work in other areas and with the smooth
evolution of the large installed base of CCSDS-compatible mission-support
infrastructure;
l) working with the WG, BOF, and SIG chairs to prepare detailed reports of overall
status, progress and problems for presentation at CESG meetings (as necessary, the
AD may request specific WG, BOF, or SIG chairs to attend CMC meetings to discuss
difficult issues);
m) verifying that all Normative Track documents are subject to the proper process of
formal agency review by the WG chair;
n) maintaining the Area master-tracking list of relevant specifications as they progress
through the standardization tracks;
o) making recommendations to the CESG to reconvene a WG to refresh a standard that
has been finalized and deployed into operational use, and for which the WG is no
longer active;
p) making sure that technical cross-pollination occurs among the various WGs by
seeking frequent opportunities to hold Area meetings; and
q) seeking opportunities to advertise and promulgate the work of the Area by alerting
WG, BOF, and SIG chairs to opportunities to publish results or participate in relevant
conferences...”_______________________________________________
