<DIV style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; DISPLAY: inline">Dear
James, </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ">
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I wish to express you that I agree with the manifest, rerproduced below of
our other </DIV>
<DIV>CCSDS colleagues who, to this point in time, have expressed their views,
after your </DIV>
<DIV>addressing to us, as also reproduced, below.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In spite of my (still valid) position as the Chair and long time
acquaintance with SC13,</DIV>
<DIV>I was surpised to learn from you of the (NASA, I understand) paid CCSDS
affiliation to </DIV>
<DIV>ISO. In my limited understanding so far, I had the (wrong) belief that
funded by NASA, </DIV>
<DIV>ANSI, since the beginning of SC13 was funding this task which, in more
recent yaers,</DIV>
<DIV>also start involving AIAA in the provisioning of the secretariat support,
for the purpose.</DIV>
<DIV>In any case, this was my view. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, reflecting over the whole issue you posed us, I would like to make
some </DIV>
<DIV>comments on the subject you have just addresed us.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First, it is (still) very clear in my memory the arguments that were
presented, back in </DIV>
<DIV>~ 1988-9 to CMC on the need to consider a close relationship between CCSDS
and ISO.</DIV>
<DIV>In fact, it was in a CMC-CCSDS meeting (‘89?) held in DLR
(Oberpfaffenhofen), when </DIV>
<DIV>careful arguments on the need for approximation of CCSDS to ISO were
presented and </DIV>
<DIV>discussed with the attendees, by (Dr.) MacGregor S. Read (JPL). I am not
sure but if that </DIV>
<DIV>was the occasion but, for sure, around that time, CMC decided to pursue
such an </DIV>
<DIV>approximation which, eventually, in a relatively short time, resulted on
the creation of</DIV>
<DIV>SC13. I can say that Mac Read (JPL) was instrumental in the materialization
of this</DIV>
<DIV>new endeavor for CCSDS, that is, the creation of ISO TC20/SC13 (we have
most of the </DIV>
<DIV>documents derived from that initiative, available in our folder of Nxxxx
docs of our SC13 </DIV>
<DIV>Website. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did an exercise trying to rephrase some of the main arguments used by Mac
Read in </DIV>
<DIV>that occasion, as addressed by him to CMC-CCSDS, for justifying his
proposal, as </DIV>
<DIV>discussed and accepted by CMC, around that time. Rephrasing the main
arguments of </DIV>
<DIV>Mac Read addressed to CMC at that occasion, they are listed as
follows: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) ISO is, perhaps, the most respectable and influencing authority as an
international </DIV>
<DIV>body for standardization; It evidently holds a wide and, perhaps, the
widest reach in </DIV>
<DIV>terms of standardization and associated adherence by member bodies, in the
whole </DIV>
<DIV>globe (to this day); </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) CCSDS produces Recommendations (now, also MBs/Best Practices) for
Standards</DIV>
<DIV>(BBs) but it is not an standardization authority, at least, outside its the
scope of </DIV>
<DIV>its member agencies, therefore, apart from its observing agencies;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) CCSDS will “not-go-to-far” with its Recomendations for standards if it
do not have </DIV>
<DIV>a worldwide, far-reaching recognition, not only by the standardization
bodies of the </DIV>
<DIV>countries of its own member agencies but, also, by the many other countries
which </DIV>
<DIV>are also member bodies of ISO, worldwide; </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4) CCSDS would have a tremendous leveraging gain and advantage if ISO could
also </DIV>
<DIV>become an entry point for transforming its Recomendations for Standards in
ISO </DIV>
<DIV>Standards; An enormous leveraging factor that provides much larger
transparency of </DIV>
<DIV>CCSDS Recommendations, effectively worlwide; Therefore, also including many
</DIV>
<DIV>countries which are not affiliated to CCSDS through their member agencies,
as well; </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>5) There was (and, fortunately, there still is) willingness (thanks to Mac
Read, then, </DIV>
<DIV>contacts with ISO) from the part of ISO to consider a faster track for
CCSDS originated </DIV>
<DIV>Recomendations (currently, BBs and MBs) to enter and be processed through
the </DIV>
<DIV>stages of ISO standardization process that has made possible the
transformation</DIV>
<DIV>of those CCSDS originated documents to ISO Standards; Which is shortly
known to</DIV>
<DIV>as being the “cover-sheet-process”; In fact, in recent years We were
awarded by ISO </DIV>
<DIV>with a speed up in this process which made it possible that CCSDS
originated </DIV>
<DIV>documents could then, be submitted to enter at an even more advanced stage
of</DIV>
<DIV>process toward its approval as an ISO standard. A privilege. CCSDS is being
awarded</DIV>
<DIV>by ISO with a very special privilege under this “fast-track” regime for the
“cover-sheet”</DIV>
<DIV>process. To this point in time, I do not know of any other external entity
to ISO has </DIV>
<DIV>such a privileged treatment from ISO ... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will stop here with the above points but, in any case, they I am solidly
convinced</DIV>
<DIV>that that they continue to be of most significant importance for
CCSDS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Consider to your best possibilities the following, further
consideration:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) For CCSDS it will be a tremendous, invaluable loss for CCSDS a pull-out
from ISO </DIV>
<DIV>(SC13); Not only for the tremenduous and truly far reaching work that has
already </DIV>
<DIV>been done as a resulting of such a (legitimaly) special arragement
partnership but, </DIV>
<DIV>also, we do hope, for what is to come ahead of us .... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) CCSDS has to make all, I really mean, ALL possible efforts, much
probably, </DIV>
<DIV>gathering support among its Member agencies, to MAINTAIN its current ties
with </DIV>
<DIV>ISO, via SC13; I do believe that, if we properly gather our motivations, we
can find </DIV>
<DIV>a way a out to avoid, permit me, this strongly significant, potential
setback ... I urge </DIV>
<DIV>you to consider and invest in your role with CCSDS (inclusive) on this
move. I can </DIV>
<DIV>hardly imagine we will be forced to repent ourselves if we do not make a
serious, </DIV>
<DIV>joint drive for maintaining the current, much priviledge ties and on going
process </DIV>
<DIV>between CCSDS and ISO (SC13). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We say in Brazil ... “A team that is gaining game(s), should not be
changed” ... </DIV>
<DIV>I do believe that that the CCSDS-ISO team is solidly gaining games for a
long </DIV>
<DIV>time now. Let us try hard to keep it going ... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Last but not least. I believe that after you may properly access the
current </DIV>
<DIV>situation, Andy Dryden, as I pointed you before, may be a most valuable
source </DIV>
<DIV>of counseling to such expectation. He is our SC13 ISO CS liaison, for
years.</DIV>
<DIV>He is not only competent but also, as I have seen over years, a positively
</DIV>
<DIV>constructive person, if you may present him the situation under the terms
you </DIV>
<DIV>may end up finding to be pertinent and
reasonable.</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>

CCSDS</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dear Afarin-san,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is JAXA's initial feedback on your e-mail regarding possible </DIV>
<DIV>termination of the ISO/CCSDS affiliation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Although we do not fully understand the background and strategic context
</DIV>
<DIV>of the affiliation between CCSDS and ISO, we clearly see the advantage
</DIV>
<DIV>and significance of the relationship between CCSDS and ISO from an </DIV>
<DIV>article of Mr. A. Hook </DIV>
<DIV><http://public.ccsds.org/about/halloffame/adrianhooke.aspx> and the
</DIV>
<DIV>charter of TC20/SC13 </DIV>
<DIV><http://public.ccsds.org/about/ISO_TC20-SC13_charter.aspx>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Therefore, we basically agree with the opinion and advice stated in the
</DIV>
<DIV>e-mail dated Dec.2 from the CESG Chair.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If cost issue hinder our affiliation with ISO,</DIV>
<DIV>JAXA, as a member of the CMC, should also participate in a discussion on
</DIV>
<DIV>how best we can cope with this issue. I believe that some approaches </DIV>
<DIV>that work well for every CCSDS stakeholder can be found through
discussion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards --- Shigeta</DIV>
