<font size=3>Dear CSTS WG Members, </font>
<br><font size=3>at ESA we have come up with a (minor) change which
we would like to introduce in two SLE Books - CLTU and FSP. </font>
<br><font size=3>The change relates to the "Throw Events" capability,
which is now widely used at ESA as it allows to do station's configuration
actions by the Mission Control Centre</font>
<br><font size=3>The request we have received from our operators is, simply,
to extend the length of the qualifier of the event (the "eventQualifier")
from currently 128 bytes to 1024 bytes (see details below*)</font>
<br><font size=3>They deem that the present qualifier format is overly
restrictive and should be changed to accommodate longer qualifier strings,
in other words, it should accommodate longer lists of parameters.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Given that the CLTU and FSP books happen to be still in
the Editor's queue (following the Agency Review),we have a chance to inject
now this last-minutes change. </font>
<br><font size=3>If that succeeds, the change would already be available
in the upcoming the SLE version 5</font>
<br><font size=3>Obviously, the change is backward compatible with
implementations respecting the existing constraint.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>With this e-mail, I would like to ask the Working Group
members if they agree to the change.</font>
<br><font size=3>If there will be no objection, we will immediately
proceed with the update of the books. Then, the Editor will at last release
all the 5 SLE books for the poll.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Please let me have your answer by 6 July cob.</font>
<br><font size=2>Kind regards,<br>
Margherita</font>
