Greg:

There are no procedures for publishing RIDs against Blue Books.  Updates to 
Blue Books are always handled (and always have been handled) by preparing 
and approving a markup within a working group (formerly within a 
panel/subpanel).  If your WG is chartered to do an update, then the WG must 
produce the proposed Pink Sheets and get approval, first from the Area and 
CESG, and then from the CMC, to release them for Agency review.  The 
Secretariat does not become involved until the CMC approves release of the 
Pink Sheets.  Under no circumstances are new Pink Sheets ever sent out for 
Agency review without prior CMC approval.

Reviews of Red Books/Pink sheets subsequent to their initial issue have in 
the past been handled without additional approval, as was done for issues 
2-n of the Proximity Red Book.  The first issue of a review document has 
always required Management Council approval.  In the case of updates to 
published Blue Books, Pink Sheets are new review documents.  The 
Secretariat has no authority to do anything with new Pink Sheets without 
direction from the CMC;  i.e., there must be a resolution authorizing their 
release.

Note that there is nothing new in any of this.  These are the procedures 
that have always been in place, and they are clearly documented in the 
Procedures Manual.

As I stated before in my previous email message, the impact to the

that ELECTRA transceiver is a multi-mission project and looked upon as a

Jean-Luc, Adrian,<br><br>
Answering Jean-Luc's reply below:<br><br>
I have submitted changes to the SLS Space Protocols WG which
basically<br>
includes review and disposition of RIDs written against existing or<br>
emerging CCSDS link layer protocol recommendations.<br><br>
Proximity-1 Space Link Protocol was split into three new blue books
and<br>
published and released on the CCSDS Web site in August 2003 as per the
MC<br>
directive. It's not a question of releasing these documents for<br>
international review. They have already been released.<br><br>
The NASA/JPL ELECTRA Project waited until the new restructured
proximity-1<br>
books were out before they submitted their RIDs to me, the NASA
coordinator<br>
for RIDs against these documents. The SLS Space Link Protocols WG needs
to<br>
discuss and provide a disposition of these RIDS at the Fall 2002
meeting.<br><br>
Can we get this WG updated charter approved so that the CCSDS
secretariat<br>
can put these RIDs on the CCSDS web site for international agency review
ASAP?<br><br>
thanks,<br><br>
Greg<br><br>

agency review<br>
