Approval to publish CCSDS 650.0-M-2,  Reference 
Model for an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) (Magenta Book, Issue 2)
Results of CESG poll beginning 24 February 2012 and ending 9 March 2012:

                  Abstain:  2 (50%) (Calzolari, Scott)
  Approve Unconditionally:  1 (25%) (Peccia)
  Approve with Conditions:  1 (25%) (Shames)
  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

      Peter Shames (Approve with 
Conditions):  The document has been improved 
somewhat since its original publication, but many 
of the materials that have been updated were 
modified without enough attention to detail.

All of the models in Sec 4 have been "colorized", 
but they are inconsistent in their use of 
colors.  They are also a real mish-mash of 
styles, with different drawing objects and colors 
being used to represent what should be the same 
object types in various diagrams.  It is 
confusing at best and adhere to no known, or 
described, style.  RASDS and/or UML/SysML styles 
should have been adopted consistently.

There are also a number of definition and 
terminology issues that should be addressed during this document update.

Issues are marked in the attached PDF file.

Results of CESG poll beginning 1 March 2012 and ending 15 March 2012:

                  Abstain:  1 (20%) (Calzolari)
  Approve Unconditionally:  2 (40%) (Peccia, Taylor)

  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

      Peter Shames (Approve with 
Conditions):  The PICS Pro Forma is incomplete.  See attached RID.

      Keith Scott (Approve with Conditions):  I 
have the following comments on the 
document.  Items 2 and 3a are I think actual 
technical issues.  The rest can be considered editorial.

==== Item 1 ====
Section 1.5.1 seems superfluous -- the document 
does not define any packet formats or other 
structures that have to do with bit positions.

==== Item 2 ====
I don't think the Mandatory Features in the 
Service Conformance Statement Proforma should be 
'pre-checked' -- they sort of HAVE to be checked 
by the implementer, but it's up to them to do it.

==== Item 3a ====
Section 3.2(c) references signaling from the 
underlying layer (Red/Yellow/Green) which may be 
*link* dependent.  If the MTS is implemented via 
the AMS protocol and if AMS is run over something 
that uses a network layer (assume, for the 
purpose of argument, that TCP would meet the 
requirements of 3.2(b)) then the signaling might 
involve a path, not just a single link.  Maybe c) 
could say [my highlighting via **]:

-- 
c) provide a means for signalling the result of 
data transmission which may be **specific to the 
underlying data transport mechanism** (at least 
Red=failure, Yellow=unknown or partial, Green=OK).

-- 
That would cover link- and network- layer signaling.

==== Item 3b ====
Only one 'l' in 'signaling' (there are two in item (c))

==== Item 4 ====
3.3.1 (i):
I think the text 'Use of the SOIS Subnetwork 
Packet Service is recommended for Message 
Transfer Service.' should be a NOTE (it's a recommendation, not a requirement).

==== Item 5 ====
It seems like the 'how to deploy over the SOIS 
Subnetwork Packet Service' requirements, like 
3.3.1 (k) should be in one place.  Annex D in the 
document does that, in an informative 
(non-normative) way.  It seems odd to have little 
bits of normative 'how to delploy this over SOIS 
subnetwork packet service' text scattered 
throughout the document and then to NOT have 
those reflected in a NORMATIVE annex.  I realize 
that this is probably too difficult to fix at 
this stage without putting the book out for 
another agency review, and I'm not pushing hard for a change here.

                        RID INITIATION FORM

AGENCY RID NUMBER: SEA-001
SUBMITTING ORGANIZATION: SEA AD

REVIEWER'S NAME:   Peter Shames
CODE: SEA AD

DOCUMENT NUMBER:   CCSDS 875x0m0  Draft Magenta Book, CESG Review
DOCUMENT NAME:     SOIS Message Transfer Service
DATE ISSUED:       March 2012
PAGE NUMBER:   A-1               PARAGRAPH NUMBER:  N/A
RID SHORT TITLE:   PICS Pro Forma is not complete
------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF REQUESTED CHANGE:  (Use From: "..." To "..." format)


From:

Mandatory features with a check mark

To:

PICS Pro Forma tables should include a column for mandatory and optional features, a column for the implementer to indicate compliance, and a column for notes.  They should identify the section of the document that they reference.  See CCSDS Procedures manual example.

------------------------------------------------------------------
CATEGORY OF REQUESTED CHANGE:
     Technical Fact ___    Recommended _X_    Editorial ___
NOTES:
TECHNICAL FACT:  Major technical change of sufficient magnitude as to
 render the document inaccurate and unacceptable if not
 corrected.  (Supporting analysis/rationale is essential.)
RECOMMENDED:  Change of a nature that would, if incorporated, produce
 a marked improvement in document quality and acceptance.
EDITORIAL:  Typographical or other factual error needing correction.
 (This type of change will be made without feedback to submitter.)
------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTING ANALYSIS:

In a PICS proforma it would be usual to leave the boxes unchecked, but to indicate which are mandatory and which are optional.  The check boxes are filed when the PICS is created for an implementation.  It would also be normal to add a "Notes" column that the implementor could use to include any notes about the implementation.
