<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the moment all RIDs (300+) from the Agencies Review of the Mission Planning and Scheduling (MP&S) Red Book have been closed. There have been some additional RIDs from the prototyping activities and a number of editorials, which have
all been implemented now. As such, the attached MP&S Red Book v3 should be pretty close to the final issue for publication. You can find all changes from the original Red Book in the attached RID table.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the next weeks we intend to complete the prototyping activities (Services and File Formats) and to finalise the test reports (Yellow Book), after which we can initiate the publication process.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please feel free to review the current Red Book for any final issues and editorials – just let me know if you spot anything.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
