Mario: I agree. However, in order to kick off the review the following 
procedural steps are necessary:

1. You (as CCSDS-SMC-WG chair) must work with Steve Harris (Secretariat) to 
get the Red and Green Books produced in an acceptable CCSDS format. That 
includes the addition of the "encapsulation" CCSDS boilerplate that I 
suggested. Please let me know if you are having any difficulties in getting 
the Red and Green books drafted.

2. As WG chair you must formulate a written memorandum containing the 
statement about the reference implementations (along the lines of the one 
that you just sent out, including the attachments) and transmit the 
following integrated package to Nestor (Area Director):

a. Red Book
b. Green Book
c. Reference Implementation memorandum.

3. Nestor will then send this integrated package to me (CESG chairman). If 
the integrated package is satisfactory, I will then expedite their CCSDS 
Agency review.

NOTE: I cannot send out the package until I have confirmation from the OMG 
(John Siegel) that they have no legal objections to CCSDS encapsulating and 
redistributing their documentation.

4. The reviewable CCSDS document is the Red Book. Note that Appendix A2 of 
the Red Book contains a print-out of the XML schema and in order to ease 
the review by the final users of the standard, an electronic copy of the 
schema is also available (as an .xsd file that can be opened with a tool, 
e.g. XML Spy, or with a Browser). This .xsd file must be loaded onto a 
public area of the CCSDS.org website by the Secretariat and the Red Book 
review instructions that are sent out by the Secretariat must link to where 
this file can be downloaded (if needed).

5. The Reference Implementation memorandum (and its supporting material) 
must also be loaded onto a public area of the CCSDS.org website by the 
Secretariat and the Red Book review instructions that are sent out by the 
Secretariat must also link to that memorandum.

Best regards
Adrian
