color:#1F497D'>Greetings, messaging enthusiasts. The agency review of the
second edition of the AMS Red Book, which concluded on September 28, resulted
in 32 RIDs. I’ve just now posted to the AMS CWE page a list of the
RIDs and my proposed resolutions, together with an edited Red Book that
reflects those resolutions. These are the documents that we would want to
get through during the Noordwijk meetings, but clearly any discussion and
(ideally) agreement we can accomplish in advance of those meetings would be
very useful. Please review this material as time permits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have successfully wrapped up interoperability testing this afternoon (via
teleconference) that we began at APL on March 25-27, between Tim, Pat, and
Scott's implementations. As Scott said: </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>"There are plenty more detailed test
cases we'd want to work through if we were planning to base a mission on this
stuff in the near future, but I believe for the purposes of publishing a Blue
Book we have demonstrated interoperation between independently developed
implementations of all of the AMS protocols. I guess we could even do a little
more testing during discussion at the Colorado Springs meetings, to tie up any
loose ends we think remain, but I don't think it should be necessary. Great
work, everybody."</span><o:p></o:p></p>

containing changes (primarily in the RAMS area) resulting from the
interoperability testing. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
