that, CCSDS agencies (not the CCSDS, not the Secretariat, not the CESG)

their reviews is their business. More importantly, tools/formats/ restrictions
related to how agency reviewers are allowed to input RIDs are matters for
each agency to determine; the only requirement at the CCSDS level is that
the agency-approved RID packages be delivered in Excel format.</span></p>

        I confirm my opinion in keeping the simplest

</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
Just based on experience the problem is not having a sophisticated tool
to manage RIDs but rather to promote review among Agencies with proper
processes.</span><span style=" font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman">

In other words, more than spending time/resources in access, excel, RIDzilla,MyBestWayForDoingRIDs,
RIDuberAlles, etc I would push up the issue to MC for having proper Agency
