This report represents an important step forward in a very complex area. It helps inform how we at NASA modernize our approach to the wide range of issues and work with the commercial and international partners who will be involved with us in planetary exploration throughout the solar system in the coming years. The report reaffirms the direction of NASA's thinking and changing practice in this area. We appreciate the PPIRB's assessment that recent changes in the Planetary Protection Office (PPO) and its relocation to the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance (OSMA) have improved communication, clarity, and responsiveness to community needs and concerns.
