[CMC] [CCSDS] Appointment of the SIS-MIA chair

Fri Jul 19 12:37:21 UTC 2024

Hello Sami,

Certainly it is up to CESG to finally validate the nominations to WG chair made by the corresponding area. What I wanted to check is whether agencies may want to propose additional candidates on top of that already provided at WG level. This is certainly not a requirement, but also mentioned in the yellow book to possibly get additional candidates. So if there is any agency willing to make any candidate by the end of July, I’ll be happy to consider them, otherwise I’ll in turn inform CESG about the only candidate for the WG leadership and request a poll for the formal appointment.

Best Regards,

Tomaso

Thank you, Tomaso,

The process to filling WG chair vacancies is typically handled by the CESG, not the CMC, unless there is a reason to do that.   Thank you for the reminder.  Your email went to both bodies, so let’s hope the delegates act quickly.

As far as Falk, is this “indication” a formal nomination now?

Dear Sami, all,

Kind reminder (deadline July 31st) to propose a candidate for the SIS MIA WG. As already mentioned the WG has already indicated Falk Schiffner (DLR) as suitable candidate for such a position.

Best Regards,
Tomaso

One month it is.  Let’s just send a reminder in two weeks.

Hello Sami,

Thank you for the feedback. Let’s say that procedurally speaking, 1 month is what indicated in our yellow book but obviously if agencies can commit to indicate any other candidate or say ‘no candidate’ by July 15th would certainly allow to speed up the overall process. I can send another reminder in two weeks time and let’s see if additional 15 days are necessary as per CCSDS procedures or not.

Best Regards,

Tomaso

Thank you, Tomaso,

This is good to hear.

CCSDS is now open to receive nominations from agency delegates, if any, other than Falk, which we can now consider to be officially nominated by DLR for the WG chair role.  Perhaps we can aim for no later than the middle of July.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [CCSDS] Appointment of the SIS-MIA chair
Dear Sami, Colleagues of CMC,

As mentioned during the SIS area reporting during last week CMC meeting, Rodney Grubbs has concluded his NASA emeritus status on June 7th and since there the position of SIS-MIA WG chair is vacant.  After some additional discussions within the WG, on Friday I’ve finally received the confirmation that the current WG deputy chair, i.e. Falk Schiffner (DLR), can take over such a role (there were initially some contractual issues that have been solved with his management) and indeed looking forward to starting working as new leader of the WG.

Nevertheless, in order to make the process fair and open to other nominations, I’d like to invite you all to check within your agencies whether you may want to indicate additional candidates for such a position. As usual, SIS-MIA being an already existing WG, I’d appreciate if you could return your indications until August 1st (i.e. for a window of 1 month starting from today).

Best Regards,
Tomaso
