[CMC] Spring 2022 CMC Meeting hosted by JAXA

[繁田 勉]

Dear CMC and CESG members,

This is to consult with you about the CMC meeting scheduled for the week of May 30 in Akihabara, Tokyo.

While JAXA certainly would like to host the meeting in Tokyo and the technical tour to our new deep-space station, there is no clear prospect in containing the spread of the Omicron variant in Japan, and there are still some conditions for foreigners entering the country.

(Very much) Hoping the above circumstances would improve soon, JAXA would like to wait, by the first week of April, for making decision on whether to host an in-person meeting in Japan or not.

In addition, there have been many cases of international mail not being delivered as usual, and there is concern that the documents needed to obtain visas may not be exchanged in time. In case if some members cannot join in person, a hybrid meeting could be considered while the time differences need to be tolerated.

Should you have any opinion, please not to hesitate to let us(host) know!! Any opinion such as that you can wait more for deciding in-person meeting.

Regards..Shigeta
