<pre><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: normal;">The status pf this action is that it is still open, but there has been movement toward this goal. On 2 March 2015 the TC 20 / SC 14 Head's of Delegation met via telecon. The attached materials were presented and reviewed by the CCSDS SEA AD during a 1.5 hour meeting. The materials were the outcome of some joint effort between the SEA AD and the TC 20 / SC 14 </span><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: normal;">convener, Fred Slane. They were well received by the HoD.</span></font></pre>
</div>
</span>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The most important outcome is that the RASDS conceptual framework, and the extensions that have been discussed, are understood to provide a framework for describing both the CCSDS / SC 13 standards
work and the SC 14 standards work. The desired outcome is this</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="line-height: 12px; margin-top: 4pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.81in; direction: ltr; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">–</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Reach agreement within </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">SC 13, </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">and with </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">SC
14, </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">for use and extension of the core [of RASDS]</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12px; margin-top: 4pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.81in; direction: ltr; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; color: white;"><br>
</span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There is now enough motvation for discussion about how to reach this goal. The TC 20 / SC 14 process is to further discuss this topic at their Plenary in June. Depending upon the outcome of that
discussion there may be agreement on how to move forward, but no further formal action can take place until that discussion concludes. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Meanwhile, with the help of Eduardo Begramini, the SC 14 / SC 14 liaison, and Nick Tongson we have been reachinhg out to other ISO WG and SC to determine just what ontology or architecture efforts
there are that are active and might contrinute to this.</div>
