Note taker: Paolo
Minutes of previous meetings: next week we will consider approved minute from 7/12 and 30/11 unless issues are raised.
News from agencies. Strategies towards ESA: No reply from Fabio Favata, even after reminder by Ludo. Ludo in contact w/ Martin Linder. ESA did not understand that contribution to MHFT are welcome. Martin willing to pass this information to Favata. Needs a wish list. SC needs more time to consolidate this wish list. Will be done after holidays. Ludo may respond to Martin on a personal basis, to reassure hime that the issue is discussed, but no wish list can be sent to ESA before the SC approves it.
Selection of 3-4 Europeans for SGS task force. France proposes Ken Ganga, Radek Stompor, Tony Banday, Matt Tristram. Norway proposes Hans Kristian Eriksen. Italy proposes Paolo Natoli and Andrea Zacchei. Decision is Hans Kristian, Matt, Paolo. No priority ranking is given. Note added a posteriori: the day after the call, UK has proposed Mike Jones. SC decides not to modify the decision taken.
