[Nestor.Peccia at esa.int]

Dear all,

Please look at the CMC comments issued on the Project baseline poll and 
give feedback to your AD. Every Area shall come to the CESG meeting on 
Friday 19th April with conclusions on how to respond to the CMC

================================

DLR comments
I have discussed with every WG on the affected Projects

CNES comments on MOIMS area: 
- Data Entity Dictionary Specificaton Language (DEDSL) - XML Schema : CNES 
is said to have editor+prototype responsibility on this project while we 
are not aware of a new activity there and it was decided at the last CMC 
not to conduct a maintenance of this and other DAI documents ; To be 
clarified. 
- Conjunction Data Message : CNES among other agencies have supported the 
prototyping of the CDM, which is not reflected, but is confirmed for 
remaining activities. To be formalized, if needed.

CNSA comments in general
CNSA encourages our engineers to make more contributions to the 
corresponding WG. Recently several engineers of CNSA already contacted to 
the WG Chair and conformed their participation level. The present  " 
Projects - Resource View " table does not reflect the CNSA participation 
status yet. But this does not affect the decision for the WG continuing 
due to CNSA participation levels are limited to "contribute" and "monitor" 
now. However CNSA would hope the Projects - Resource View could be updated 
in the future to reflect CNSA participation status.

ESA comments for several areas
Due to a very recent reduction of the ESA 2013 standardisation budget, an 
adjustment of the allocations to the different areas, including CCSDS 
projects is underway. Therefore ESA cannot confirm at this moment the 
resources refected in the CCSDS Management Framework in their entirety. 
ESA can thus only provisionally confirm the resources and approve the 
programme of work contained in CWE. 
In particular the ESA resources for the following projects need to be 
re-confirmed: 
CCSDS Symmetric Key Management Recommendations ESA(L) 
Producer-Archive Interface Specification (PAIS) ESA(P2) 
Improved Coding Schemes for the Proximity Link ESA(L) 
Space Data Link Security Concept of Operation, Issue 1 ESA(L) 
Space Data Link Security Concept of Operation, Issue 2 ESA(L) 
SOIS-WIR Low data-rate wireless communications for spacecraft monitoring 
and control  ESA(L) 
XML Specification for Electronic Data Sheets for Onboard Devices, ESA (LP) 

Common Dictionary of Terms  ESA (P) 
Also the currently greyed items (not approved) cannot be confirmed. 
For all other items, the effort alocation indicated in the CWE is 
confirmed by ESA.

NASA comments on CSS and SOIS Areas
NASA confirms that our current plan is to provide the resources that are 
documented as "NASA-provided" in the current resource plan, with two 
exceptions.  NASA will "adopt" this resolution after those changes are 
made in the Framework. 
(1) For the ?Framework for Extensible Space Communication Cross Support 
Service Management? in CSSM, remove NASA from the prototype, and replace 
it with TBD.  NASA does not have resources assigned to this, and the WG 
chair said that these prototypes were actually TBD. 
(2) For the ?SOIS-WIR High data-rate wireless communications for 
spacecraft monitoring and control? in the Wireless WG, our understanding 
is that the document is planned to be cancelled.  Coordinate with the WG 
chair and either cancel that document, or at least remove NASA from the 
resources list for support to that project. 
With those changes, NASA agrees to provide the resources that NASA is 
signed up for.  Also, NASA agrees that the current resource plan for all 
projects looks acceptable.  We understand that some documents have TBD for 
some resources still, but those will be discused and decided on at the 
next meeting.
