    <p>Hi Peter,</p>
    <p>I requested the meeting to provide feedback on the SCCS-ARD draft
      on one topic that I know best. This feedback is important for you
      to hear and discuss prior to a decision on how we ought to
      proceed. It involves the VCM "suite" issue but also several other
      important areas. There are factual errors, omissions, and
      artificial complexity. These are not details. These get at the
      crux of properly explaining how VCM works and fits together and
      what the relevant standards actually are about. These issues need
      to be resolved before we will be able to reach closure on an
      approach.</p>
    <p>With this in mind, I suggest inserting agenda item #4, resulting
      in the following:</p>
    <p>Agenda<br>
    </p>
    <ol>
      <li>SCCS-ARD structure (Peter) - 5 minutes<br>
      </li>
      <li>SCCS-ARD viewpoints (Peter) - 5 minutes</li>
      <li>SCCS-ARD handling of VCM "suite" (Peter) - 5 minutes<br>
      </li>
      <li>Feedback on the SCCS-ARD (Jon) - 60 minutes</li>
      <li>Discussion and path forward (all) - 45 minutes</li>
      <li>Specific details, if any. - 0 minutes<br>
      </li>
    </ol>
    <p>
    </p>
    <p>
    </p>
    <p>If more time is needed, we can stretch the meeting length
      accordingly. I suggested the first items be brief because we don't
      need much of a tutorial on the SCCS-ARD at this point, since those
      have been covered in detail in the distributed SCCS-ARD itself and
      prior meetings. </p>
    <p>I intend to come to the meeting with practical suggestions on how
      to improve the SCCS-ARD draft, and an open mind.<br>
    </p>
    <p>BTW, I laughed at the cartoon! The irony of it, I mean, which you
      may have missed. I am not insulted by VCM being a small piece --
      my recommendation was for VCM to be not included in the SCCS-ARD,
      but that was ignored. If you feel VCM is taking outsize
      importance, we should keep its removal in the trade-space of
      options we discuss.<br>
    </p>

        <p>Okay, sounds good. I hope we can find a time that the
          C&S/RFM chairs and champions of the involved standards can
          be present.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p>I am requesting the meeting so that I can describe my
          concerns and discuss a way to reach consensus. I suggest a
          one-hour block at the beginning for me to present them, in a
          two-hour meeting. This conversation will quickly get at the
          issue of the “suite” label, so I think that fits in with
          Peter's plan, and there are a number of unrelated fundamental
          issues relating to factual errors, omissions, complexity,
          etc., as well.<o:p></o:p></p>

            <p>Thank you for the invitation to review the SCCS-ARD. I
              regret that I will not be able to discuss the SCCS-ARD in
              person on 23 Nov. I will be on vacation that week. I give
              my comments here, with the hope that this is enough in
              advance of the meeting for each of the individual comments
              to be read and discussed at the meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>My primary comment is that updating the SCCS-ARD is
              clearly a large undertaking, and I would like to
              congratulate John Pietras and Peter Shames for on the
              production of a quality document. It is difficult to
              absorb such a large swath of CCSDS standards and integrate
              them into a helpful summary of the interfaces as this
              SCCS-ARD does.<o:p></o:p></p>
            <p>My other comments primarily relate to the new VCM
              content. There are six main comments, with more detailed
              description, recommendation, and justification for each.
              These comments are written based on the latest SCCS-ARD,
              but I also repeat portions of my June-23 comments if they
              were not yet addressed. I believe the SCCS-ARD will be
              much improved if we adopt these recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>

                    One VCM protocol. As we worked out in the C&S

                    protocol blue book (431.1-B-1), there is one VCM
                    protocol that can be used with multiple sets of
                    codes and modulations described in other blue books.
                    There are some variations and options in this
                    protocol, but it is fundamentally one protocol that
                    operates in the same way, namely, with a header
                    signaled with pi/2-BPSK and protected with a
                    specific RM code, followed by code symbols using a
                    higher order modulation. This is why the VCM blue
