I fully agree with the need of reinvigorating the CSP with new members and probably by appointing a new chair and vice-chair as well. We have successfully championed the connection with the astropy group first and then the resuscitation of the Radioastronomy Interest Group but it is true that it obtaining further involvement with the astronomical community and with the TCG has been challenging due to the members’ workload in their respective projects.<br class=""><br class="">As your request, besides the conversation at the exec, I will also initiate an email discussion with the CSP members about the possible updates in membership and leadership and report back at the next exec telecon, hopefully before the interop meeting itself. Depending on the outcome of the discussions at the exec and at the CSP we can then decide on the contents of the CSP presentation at the Interop.<br class=""><br class="">Best regards,<br class=""><br class="">Bruno<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On 28 Oct 2020, at 03:59, Chenzhou Cui <<a href="mailto:ccz@bao.ac.cn" class="">ccz@bao.ac.cn</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Dear IVOA Exec,<br class=""><br class="">At the telecon yesterday, the Exec discussed the need of the CSP to be more active in its relation with the TCG and with the scientific community to understand the need of the community and where IVOA has to focus in the future work.<br class=""><br class="">The Exec agreed that CSP chart might need some revision as well as a vice – chair could be appointed to help/coordinate with the chair to increase activity and presence in the astronomy community.
