[CMC] 2 Questions about the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings and General Information

[繁田 勉]

Dear CMC Colleagues,

Hereafter please find JAXA responses;

1.  Do you believe the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings should take place in person?
 --> We regret to say but CCSDS Meetings should NOT take place in person under the present circumstances. 

2.  If the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings were to be held in person, will your agency allow participants to attend?
 --> JAXA personnel will not be allowed to attend the face-to-face meeting(s) in October/November unless the subject is so critically urgent.

Although it will be quite unfavorable if we are not able to organize the meeting in person following the Spring meetings, we have to think about how efficiently we can organize the virtual meetings.

Best Regards...Shigeta

Subject: [CMC] 2 Questions about the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings and General Information

Dear CMC Members,

In preparation for a discussion of holding the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings in person, I would like to ask each CMC member to consider two questions.


1.      Do you believe the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings should take place in person?

2.      If the fall 2020 CCSDS Meetings were to be held in person, will your agency allow participants to attend?

In considering these questions, please keep in mind that, should they be permitted to attend by their agency, many individuals may decide that the risk is too high for them personally. If you are prepared to answer these questions, please reply and share your opinions with the CMC.

An update on the current COVID Situation in France from Jean-Marc Soula is also attached to this message.

Best regards,

Michael Blackwood
