 the draft project definition) is attached for reference.  I think that in fact this is not required as the CWE framework includes a button, which when selected, is supposed to send the draft project definition to the CMC for project authorization (a screenshot
 is shown below).  And indeed this button/check mark has been selected for some time re this project authorization.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">Dear Erik,</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">My reply was based on the last sentence of your resolution stating:</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">“…REQUESTS that the CCSDS Secretariat initiate polling for project creation”</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">The wording for that part of the resolution should have been , e.g. :
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">“and REQUESTS that the CCSDS Secretariat initiate polling for project
<s>creation </s></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:red">approval by CMC</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">”
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080"> given that the Draft Project had been created in CWE (like you did). The relevant link should have been provided together with the resolution.</span>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">Concerning the Concept Paper, I am fully aware that it was addressed at  the CESG meeting in Berlin, notably the issue with the “should” (not “shall”) in the Org and Procs books.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">However, I consider that the changes to the CSTS Framework cannot be regarded as routine review, therefore I still recommend that a Concept Paper gets produced.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">The fact that the CMC has been briefed on this upcoming new project is, in my view,  not suitable to help them in the approval decision. In fact, that kind of info is provided for many
 (granted, not all) new projects during a CMC meeting, and I assume  it would not be easy for CMC members to go back to the presentation(s) from previous meeting(s). The Concept Paper, instead, will be available to the CMC at the time of the Poll, providing
 all Project’s information. Also, the Concept Paper establishes the “boundary” of the changes, such that, after the project has been initiated, one cannot inject other changes that had not been agreed up-front (not happening normally, but sometimes it does).
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">That said, I think that a Concept Paper – in the way it is envisaged in the Org & Porc - can  be produced in one hour of work by the author of the book, and it may consist of just one/two
 pages of text (see contents of Concept Paper at <b>6.1.3.2.1</b> of Org & Proc) .  Consequently, the effort required for producing that paper is not competing with the resources required for other activities.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#004080">Last (but not least) the kind of discussion we are having confirms what was addressed at the Berlin meeting, that is,  there may be changes required to the Org & Proc in order to come
 to a formulation of Concept Paper’ s requirements that will be shared by all CESG members.

you should  first create your draft project in the CWE Framework. The Project shall, between others, identify the resources required for the project -  in your case, the resources have already done the editing work. The dates for the various milestones shall
 be put very close to each other  for the part of the work that has already been done. Once completed the editing work, the Book will be submitted to Agency Review  (I assume this will be the Blue Book 2.). The relevant dates shall also be entered in the draft
 project.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
Also, you should determine if the new project requires resources for prototyping - depending on the kind of changes, it may be required to do delta-prototyping</span>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
Once the draft project has been created, it will  be submitted to poll for CMC approval ( not CESG).</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
Notice that every new project shall be be complemented by a "Concept Paper", as prescribed in  the Org & Proc book,

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
This shall be a concise piece of  text, to outline the nature of the changes. Also, it shall  explain if, depending on the envisaged changes, prototyping is - or is not - required.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><br>
In your resolution for CMC approval, please  provide :</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">
