<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">let us go through your proposed actions
to either confirm them or suggest alternatives. This we can do in about
10 days. Then, maybe a telecon could be a good way forward.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Dear Mario,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">The CMC has recently approved the minutes
from the June meeting (see email below). To the best of my knowledge
this essentially means that the resolutions are official. I do not
see anything in the minutes that revises the resolution affecting RASIG
and SM+C (a copy of that resolution is immediately below). </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Accordingly, in response to the top priority
listed in the CMC resolution (“….as the top priority, the CMC resolves
that the RA-SIG should first start with the analysis previously generated
by the SEA AD. They should focus on reaching agreement on that set
of specific issues, and provide recommendations to resolve issues where
CCSDS working groups are working on overlapping solutions and/or are conflicting
with each other…”), please find attached an initial draft spreadsheet
with some proposed actions relative to the SEA AD recommendations (the
source of those recommendations – Peter’s presentation from last year
is also attached for your reference). My sincere hope is that we
can use this spreadsheet to begin forging a better CCSDS-wide understanding
of the various recommendations fit together. I am very interested
in learning what your comments, etc maybe with regard to the proposed actions.
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">I will be out of the office the remainder
of the week but if you would like to have a teleconference later this month
I would be interested in doing the same.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Best regards,</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">CMC-A-2010-06-Resolution 2:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">The CMC commends the RA-SIG for the significant
accomplishments and progress that has been made since its formation at
the Fall 2009 CMC meeting. While the current approach has the clear potential
to produce a comprehensive solution if sufficient resources are applied,
the CMC is concerned that the proposed scope of work is too broad for the
currently available resources and consequently the work plan needs to be
narrowed in order to be achievable within a realistic resource envelope.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Accordingly, and as the top priority, the
CMC resolves that the RA-SIG should first start with the analysis previously
generated by the SEA AD. They should focus on reaching agreement
on that set of specific issues, and provide recommendations to resolve
issues where CCSDS working groups are working on overlapping solutions
and/or are conflicting with each other.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">As a second priority the RA-SIG should
concurrently develop a basic CCSDS reference architecture for mission operations,
but they should limit that work to focus on the application service architecture
(i.e., applications above the network layer).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Specifically, to proceed on both priorities,
the CMC resolves that the RA-SIG group should:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">1. Ignore the data
communications aspects; assume that we have at least a Network layer platform
for transfer of data among the ground elements (TCP-UDP/IP) and between
the ground elements and the spacecraft (BP, IP).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">2. Assume that we
may have several messaging protocols for transfer of data among the ground
elements and that AMS is used between the ground elements and the spacecraft</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">3. Focus on the architecture
and organization of CCSDS Mission Operations applications that run on the
Messaging/Network layer platform.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">4. Start with the
SM&C MO architecture. Modify it as necessary to reach consensus on
an agreed taxonomy of CCSDS mission operations applications that
need to interoperate. Achieve this by integrating RA-SIG and SM&C architecture
personnel as necessary to reach a consensus.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">5. Not delay the processing
or approval of CCSDS books that have almost completed processing, but it
is OK to delay CCSDS books that are in relatively early stages.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">6. Apply the resulting
candidate mission operations application interoperability architecture
to a well-known use case, e.g., cooperative ESA/NASA Mars missions in 2016
and 2018, to discover its robustness.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">7. Report the results
at the Fall 2010 meeting.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">The CMC recognizes that some of the overlap
issues will require more time than 6 months. But by the Fall 2010 meeting,
the group should show significant progress, including solid technical consensus
on resolving many of the overlap issues.</font>
