[Css-rasg] Re: Overlaps assessment

Hi Erik,

happy new year to you an apology for the slow reaction ... there are so many
things to do that I'm in trouble!

I have looked at the attachments and I am not sure I understand what do you
mean with "scoring": I see no scoring in the documents.

Indeed a telecon could clarify the issue, including the uncertainty in Plan
Forward (what is exactly proposed, who does it and by when?).

Ciao

__Mario

Dear Mario,

Happy New Year.

At the CMC/CESG London meetings I was obligated to prepare a report on the
RASG activities. Part of the RASG activities as you may recall from our
London meetings was to develop an approach forward for the various overlap
items identified. I believe I sent you the "raw" spreadsheet which had the
items identified and the plan that we had developed as a result of the joint
meetings. However I don't think this had the various scoring denotations
which was used in developing the summary status position for CMC. I had to
develop the scoring rather quickly and unfortunately did not really have time
to close the loop with you prior to delivering my reports to CMC.  For your
information, attached are the pertinent slides extracted from the
presentation to CMC.  Note that this was presented as a draft to CMC. I'm
finally getting around to closing the loop with you which is something I
meant to do quite some time ago but other NASA work has kept me mightily
preoccupied since the London meetings.  So if you could please let me know if
you have any serious issues with the scoring that would be appreciated.   The
.xlsx scoring file is also attached.

In some regards, but not to dismiss it, I don't think the scoring is terribly
important so long as we make progress with regard to the plan moving forward.
Hence the real point of my e-mail here is to re-establish contact with regard
to these issues.  I would like to propose a teleconference for some time in
the first part of February. If nothing else I believe we should check on the
status of the various actions/plans, see where we are with regard to the
ExoMars architecture description development, etc.

Best regards,

-Erik
