[Cesg-all] Result of CESG poll closing 31 January 2011

[Shames, Peter M (313B)]

 By taking this approach we are, however, leaving the document in a peculiar, and inconsistent, state.  If they are going to change any text in the document use Mb/s then I suggest that they adopt it throughout.  Since, in this case, that means one other editorial change it should be a simple matter for the Secretariat to also effect that.

The Publications Manual requires SI notation.  In the case of the RF&Mod book, which was developed prior to adoption of the Publication Manual, it has been the practice at the Secretariat, whenever the book is updated, to attempt to bring it closer to Publications Manual requirements without expending significant resources to do so.

In the case of the current update, there was a notation (Mbps) that was not consistent with SI notation, and it was thus changed by the Secretariat.

As noted editorially in the poll results, changes made for compliance with CCSDS Publications Manual requirements are not subject to review;  i.e., comments concerning such changes will be ignored.
