<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please find attached the notes of the
CESG webex held on 10th OIct 2017. I would like to highlight in particular
the CESG discussion of the CMC proposal to change the CCSDS liaison to
the IOAG. I show below for the sake of completeness our findings</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">=============================</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><b><u>CMC discussion to change
the IOAG liaison from CESG to CMC (or to have potentially 2 liaisons (technical
with CESG, strategical with CMC) in parallel ) </u></b></font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">The main activities of the PoC
are</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">to
flow the collective user requirements concerning interoperability and cross
support from the IOAG member agencies into the CCSDS.(via the Service Catalogues)</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">to
report the CCSDS standards development plan and status to the IOAG on a
regular basis.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">to
resolve with the IOAG on any discrepancy between the priority of the standard
needed by the IOAG and the resource available to the CCSDS.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">to
advocate the CCSDS standards and architecture to the IOAG for infusion.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">CESG Chair suggested to get
the participant opinions. In summary, there were 2 options</font>
<ol>
<li value=1><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">To continue with the current
status, i.e. CESG Chair is the liaison to the IOAG</font>
<li value=2><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">To have a dual liaison
with the CMC Chair leading the strategical and the CESG Chair leading the
technical aspects</font></ol><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">CESG Chair
will inform accordingly the CMC. </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">He, as CESG Chair, will also ask
the CMC to clarify the reasons behind this proposal.This issue will
be further discussed at the next CESG and joint CESG / CMC meetings.</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">=============================</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As CESG Chair I would like to give my
opinion on such important issue</font>
<ol>
<li value=1><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There has been no discussion
between CESG and CMC about the change of liaison</font>
<li value=2><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There has been no consensus
(the biggest pilar of our CCSDS organization) between CESG / CMC</font>
<li value=3><font size=2 face="sans-serif">CMC decided unilaterally to
go ahead with a poll, without caring about the CESG position</font>
<li value=4><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Last but not least, CESG did
not get a rational / justification for the change. It is essential to know
the issues with the current liaison that make imperative this CMC proposal</font></ol>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would suggest, as CESG Chair, to extend
the CMC poll until the 13th Oct 2017 cob, such that we can have a CESG
/ CMC discussion to achieve a consensus. </font>
