[Cesg-all] AOS PINK SHEETS (was RE: [CMC] RP A3-07 Announcement of.,.)

Mon, 1 Sep 2003 09:55:12 +0100

Adrian,
I believe that the 'cleanest' way to proceed at this stage would be to
withdraw Draft Recommendation CCSDS 701.0-P-3.1 AOS on the basis of negative
results to the review. One negative comment from one single agency would
suffice. It could come from NASA or alternatively from ESA. Note that ESA's
Standards Approval Board meets September 9 and will address the issue then.
If necessary, ESA can raise (and would probably anyway) a negative Rid to
this recommendation. Decision to be taken by the STAB.
Please notify all agencies of the extension of the due date to end of
September.

best regards

      As far as this particular document is concerned, as you know I
      personally share your view that "we are a long way from a 'Pink'
      proposal". Since you and I represent 2/7 of the CESG, we clearly do not
      have CESG consensus to approve this document at this time. Perhaps
      Jean-Luc can comment about how he intends to proceed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jean-Luc:

Please note that the due date for receipt of review comments by the
Secretariat is tomorrow, 2003-8-27. As you are aware, numerous technical
issues have been raised in association with this proposed change and AT THIS
TIME THIS CHANGE IS NOT APPROVED BY THE CESG. In fact, I have just this
morning received indications that it may not have been properly coordinated
with NASDA/JAXA, who are major stakeholders in the AOS specification.

Please, at your earliest convenience, address this issue and come up with a
proposal for how you intend to proceed.

Best regards
Adrian
