As Greg just pointed out, that date is mid Jan 2012, not 2010.

Subject: [SSG] Review of DRAFT CCSDS Glossary

Dear CCSDS Area and WG colleagues,

During this week's SANA Steering Group it was agreed that a priority item is to get the candidate CCSDS Glossary that is out on the SANA website updated, approved, and released.

The old, published, CCSDS Glossary was woefully out of date (1997).  I did get a JPL staffer to scrape thru all the CCSDS docs circa 2007 and produce an update.  This identified a lot of new terms and a lot of redundant terms.  More recently the SANA operator, Marc Blanchet, has scraped thru the newer CCSDS docs looking for yet newer terms.  This is what is now in the candidate Glossary.

The SANA Steering Group (SSG) is requesting that each of the WGs take a look at this draft Glossary, which can be found in the SANA website at http://sanaregistry.org/r/glossary/glossary.html, and identify any terms that are already defined and provide any terms that need re-definition.  If there are definition collisions we will work with the WGs to sort them out.

Please do this initial review of the current Glossary no later than mid January 2012.

Thanks, Peter
