<span style="font-size: 16px;">Dear CCSDS CESG </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">Colleagues </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">and Secretariat,</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Please find below the SEA resolution concerning the Space Assigned Numbers Authority (SANA) Yellow Book, CCSDS 313x0y1, and the companion Spacecraft Identifiers – Code Assignment Control Procedures</span></font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">.
The SANA is an SEA document, the SCID is a CMC document that the </span></font><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Secretatirat has managed for many years. </span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

</span></div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A third document that is related to this re-engineering effort is the Standard Formatted Data Units – Control Authority Procedures, CCSDS 630x0b1. The edited draft of
this showing the proposed set of mods is attached for your information. This proposed draft document, along with related background materials, has already been sent to the MOIMS DAI WG chair, with a request to review and approve the changes. </span></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Note that even if this change to the MACAO / SFDU registry is rejected by the DAI WG this re-engineering effort can proceed. The path forward at that point would be to create a parallel organization and
person registry that has all of the required properties. This would not be the best outcome, but it is entirely viable.</span></font></div>

Management Policy YB document that is also in preparation. The current SANA YB describes the SANA operations and operational policies. The draft Registry Management Policy YB specifically addresses an overall information model for the SANA registries, describes in
a uniform way all of the key databases and their relationships, and provides processes for the creation, management, and extension of the set of Enterprise and Global registries that the SANA holds. This will be proposed for a separate review.</span></font></div>
