do understand what you are proposing,  but the situation has gotten
a lot more complicated than I think you may be aware.  Some agencies,
from the  beginning, chose to  have their SCID assignments hidden,
so what is  really an allocated number appears empty.  Other
agencies are choosing to do that now, or to not even register their SCIDs
even though they are using CCSDS protocols.</span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">As
a result of this, instead of being able to use a straightforward algorithm
to search for and assign SCIDs the SANA staff have to waste their time
going on “Easter Egg Hunts”.  This is really inefficient and I fail
to understand why it is even of value.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-Bottom:0px"><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">Perhaps
I am not understanding something, but what is the value in picking a specific
SCID?  Do agencies really have hardware and software that is “wired”

- an Agency has all the means to check if a value is free or assigned.
 (Some remarks below)</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">
</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
Therefore, one chance could be leaving the “pick your own number” option
but requiring that the research for availability be performed and included
in the request by the requester,</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">
<br>
</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
This could be a way to still be friendly to requester but avoiding a "interpretable"
task to NASA.</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">
<br>
</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
Last, but not least I think CMC shall be polled on this question as the
task is mainly on Agency Delegates or persons acting on behalf of their
Agency Delegate.</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">

PS with respect to the specific request I first looked for decimal 68 =
Hex 44 and I find it assigned to NILESAT-2 for both TM and TC. Then I also
saw that 116 = Hex 74 is assigned to MSL98-Flight and 229 = E5 Hex is assigned
to STELLATsim.</span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri">
</span><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
This is just to say that the requester would have been able to know that
his request </span><span style=" font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri"> “pick
your own number”  was a mission impossible. <br>
In case those values were free, he could have stated this in his analysis
justifying the ticked “pick your own number” option. <br>
