Deletion of EGS-CC

Comment: There has been a lot of discussion on independent sources above, but it raises the question of what counts as independent.  In https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mWGWDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA387 this paper, for instance, the authors' affiliation is to CNES, the French space agency, so not ''directly'' involved.  But CNES is a member of ESA and is on the steering committee of the project.  That paper makes clear that not only CNES, but DLR (the German space agency) and major aerospace manufacturers like Airbus and Thales Alenia are also involved.  Clearly, the project is not just a handful of researchers at ESA trying to push their idea, and with so many organisations involved has gone well beyond what  is trying to address.  This is a major initiative and we should stop trying to determine whether or not the smallprint of guidelines has been met and take more notice of  which says in regard to guidelines that {{xt|the principles and spirit matter more than literal wording}}.  By the way, Spacebel (mentioned by CesarCoelho above) may not by in the consortium, but they have worked on the project https://www.spacebel.be/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/SPB-Programmes_Customers-2019.pdf.  Which would kind of makes my point, there's hardly going to be a major aerospace organisation in Europe that ''isn't'' involved in some way
