Responses to RIDs SEA-001 to -004 on SPP Pink Sheets: March 2009

SEA-001
Summary of the RID:  Remove TM and TC books from normative references in section 1.7.
Suggested disposition: Accept
Suggested text for disposition:
If 133.0-B is changed as proposed in response to RIDs SEA-002 and -003, then there will be no normative references to these TM and TC books and they can be removed from the list in section 1.7. References to these books will be kept in the informative references in Annex B (now Annex C).

SEA-002
Summary of the RID:  Remove the two paragraphs, added by the Pink Sheets, from section 2.1.1, immediately above Figure 2-1.
Suggested disposition: Accept
Suggested text for disposition:
The existing text in sections 2.1.1. and 2.1.3 has led to misunderstandings about the use of the APID and the APID Qualifier to provide the Path ID of an LDP.  Revised text is being proposed for sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.3.  The revised text omits the paragraphs covered by the RID.  [A draft of 133.0-B containing the proposed text is being sent to the SLS-SLP Chair.]

SEA-003
Summary of the RID:  Replace the two new sections 4.1.2.3.4.3 and 4.1.2.3.4.4 with a single new requirement that avoids the normative references to the TM and TC books.
Suggested disposition: Accept
Suggested text for disposition:
The proposed wording for the new section 4.1.2.3.4.3 is:
"The APID may uniquely identify the individual sending or receiving application process within a particular space vehicle."

SEA-004
Summary of the RID:  Add a sentence to the new section 4.1.3.3.5, to say that the presence of the error control field is established by management.
Suggested disposition: Accept
Suggested text for disposition:
It is proposed to add a new sentence to the end of section 4.1.3.3.5.  The first part of the sentence adds the suggestion from the RID.  The field needs to be static, so that is included in the sentence as well:
"The presence of the Packet Error Control Field shall be established by management and shall be fixed for a given Path ID throughout all Mission Phases."
The Pink Sheets already contain an amendment to add the Packet Error Control Field to the managed parameters in Table 5-1.
