Luc Dini, president of the French 3AF’ s Technical Commission “SIGMA 2” has published last July a clear communication about the composition, role and objectives of the commission. Compared to his predecessor (SIGMA), the planned activities for a duration of 3 years are aimed at being more technical and scientific (see illustration below and details under the link). SIGMA 2 has already built up some working relationships with various serious organisations and researchers, including GEIPAN.
Regarding the latest, Dini attended the CAIPAN workshop that the CNES/GEIPAN organised in Paris last summer, during which I had the opportunity to perceive his seriousness and motivation. We believe that overall the SIGMA2 approach is is the right one, although highly difficult, and encourage him in his undertakings. We will be looking forward to his next status report.
