[CESG] [Secretariat] CCSDS Resolution SEA-R-2023-10-001, appointment of Marcus Wallum as the SEA Security WG Deputy Chair

Wed Oct 11 16:41:55 UTC 2023

Hi, Daniel: >> If there are additional candidates actually 2.3.3.4 is very
unclear on how to proceed (I did not have the case yet).

The controlling language is, The respective AD shall determine nominees
based on the proposed candidates: that is to say, the AD is ultimately
responsible for choosing a nominee from one or more candidates. 

Best regards,

Hi all,

Just to remark that for the MOIMS SM&C deputy chair appointment, I did
follow what is written in 2.3.3.4 (I made a typo in my mail this morning by
referring to 2.3.2.3
should have been 2.3.3.4), at least the way I
understand it. In simple terms, the procedure according to my interpretation
is (for an existing WG):

1.	WG and AD to agree on candidate
2.	AD to send a mail to CMC with the proposed candidate asking for
additional nominations (30 days time)
3.	If no additional nominations are received, after 30 days, AD to
proceed with requesting a CESG poll. If there are additional candidates
actually 2.3.3.4 is very unclear on how to proceed (I did not have the case
yet).

Is my understanding correct?

Cheers
Daniel

Marcus Wallum as the SEA Security WG Deputy Chair
Importance: High

Dear Peter, Daniel and CESG colleagues,

I would like to raise a point concerning the appointments for WG Chairs and
Co-chairs as per CCSDS Org & Proc, A02.1-Y-4c2.

Based on recent CMC and CESG correspondence (Optical WG Chair, SEA Sec
Deputy Chair, MOIMS SM&C WG Deputy Chair) there seem to be at least two ways
in which a WG Chair and Co-chair can be nominated.

In SLS we follow the (lengthy) process dictated by Sec. 2.3.3.4. It involves
CMC. Such process is identified as a Cor. 2 in the document, which I
interpret as a most recent modification.

In SEA and MOIMS reference is made to a specific CESG responsibility
identified by Section 2.3.2.3, n) Approving WG Chairs and Deputy Chairs. 

It shall be mentioned that such responsibility is the first sentence found
in Sec. 2.3.3.4

As far as I understand, the absence of alternative candidates to those
proposed by an Area Director can only be formally established by applying
the procedure in Sec. 2.3.3.4.

In the case of the Optical WG Chair, following the mailing to CMC I have
received a request a few days later from one of our main space agencies
asking for the remaining time they had to propose a candidate. I referred to
Sec. 2.3.3.4 and the 30 calendar days established for an existing WG.

I believe we should discuss this point as soon as possible and hopefully
agree on what the applied procedure shall be.

Kind regards,

Ignacio
