[Css-csts] Farewell (at least for now)

[Margherita.di.Giulio at esa.int]

Dear John,
many thanks for this last endeavour of completing the books for which you 
are ?captain? , but , actually, many thanks for all the invaluable support 
that you have given to the Working Group and the Area for so many years.
You have always been the ?mind?( and the heart) of the Working Group, and 
I am convinced that we managed to reach our objectives mainly thanks to 
your engagement.
For me personally , it has been a great experience to work with you. I 
will always remember all the interesting discussions, the brainstorming, 
the exchanges of ideas? 
I really regret that this cannot continue. I do hope that this decision 
will be reconsidered at some stage,  and that there will be another chance 
to see you again in the WG.
Kind regards,
Margherita

Dear CSTSWG colleagues ---
As some of you may have heard, my Standards funding from NASA has not been 
renewed, and the last day of that contract is this coming Thursday. As you 
will see mmentarily, I have posted the latest updates for the MD-CSTS and 
TD-CSTS books to the CWE. Both will still need to be edited to reflect the 
final decisions regarding how to cite the appropriate SANA registries, but 
other than that I believe that they are ready for submission to the 
Secretariat for Blue-1 (or possibly Red-2) and Red-1 processing, 
respectively.
 
It has been my great pleasure and privilege to have worked in CCSD for 29 
years, starting with the AOS space link protocols and transitioning to the 
original SLE development team, Service Management, and, of course, CSTS. I 
have enjoyed your company and friendship over these many years. I hope 
that our paths cross again.
 
Best regards always,
John
