<font size=2 face="Arial">Dear CESGers,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">apparently I am the liaison with OMG Space
Domain Task Force - SDTF - (it is not clear to me who covers the same position
on OMG side). Please find a link to the work priorities of the SDTF (</font><a href="http://www.omgwiki.org/space/doku.php?id=space_rfps"><font size=2 color=#0082bf face="Calibri"><u>http://www.omgwiki.org/space/doku.php?id=space_rfps</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Arial">),
which I also report at the bottom for your convenience. The information
available is very sketchy, but my first take on their priorities is:</font>
<br>
<ol>
<li value=1><font size=2 face="Arial">Ground Data Delivery Interface: possible
overlap with CSS/CSTS, MO M&C Service and Data Product Distribution
Service</font>
<li value=2><font size=2 face="Arial">Satellite Operations Data Archive:
possible overlap with DAI and MO COM Archive Service</font>
<li value=3><font size=2 face="Arial">Display Page Information Exchange:
no evident overlap</font>
<li value=4><font size=2 face="Arial">Engineering Level Interface Specification:
possible overlap with CSS/CSTS, MO M&C Service</font>
<li value=5><font size=2 face="Arial">Alarm and Event interface: possible
overlap with CSS/CSTS, MO M&C Alert and Event Services</font>
<li value=6><font size=2 face="Arial">Glossary of Ground System Terms:
possible overlap with SEA glossary</font>
<li value=7></ol><font size=2 face="Arial">I would like to ask your opinion
on the above and your suggested way forward. Certainly, the first step
should be to get more information.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Best regards,</font>
<br>

<br><font size=3><b>Space DTF RFPs</b> </font>
<p><font size=3>The following RFPs are being developed for future publication.
This list is in the current task force priority. There are many existing
recommendations/specifications/standards related to the proposed RFPs,
for example, SLE, PAIS, GMSEC, and DDS, but there is interest by the SDTF
industry participants in a focused specification for interoperability of
products and information exchange. Compatibility with existing standards
will be addressed in the RFP, and are usually described in the RFP as a
platform-specific model (PSM) requirement. </font>
