[Cesg-all] Results of recent CESG polls

[CCSDS Secretariat]

CESG E-Poll Identifier:  CESG-P-2013-08-001 
Approval to release CCSDS 
652.1-P-1.1,  Requirements for Bodies Providing 
Audit and Certification of Candidate Trustworthy 
Digital Repositories (Pink Book, Issue 1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 6 August 2013 and ending 20 August 2013:

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

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

      Peter Shames (Approve with Conditions):  I 
approve this revision, but do note that there 
were no change bars in the Pink Book.  Thus it is 
rather a pain to try and see just what has been changed.

I would much prefer for any document that has 
been cycled through CESG review for it to include 
change bars so we can see what has, in fact, been 
changed.  IMHO the change bars do not need to be 
in the version sent out for agency review.

      Nestor Peccia (Approve Unconditionally):  I concur with Peter's comments

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

      Peter Shames (Approve with 
Conditions):  This document has been 
significantly improved by an extensive set of 
edits.  This has made the document much more 
readable and more easily understood.  These 
edits, however, have introduced some new issues 
that really must be resolved before the document 
should be released for public review.

The attached review version has been commented on 
through page 3-10.  Since I am on vacation there 
has just not been the time to complete the 
review.  As a result I am submitting this now for 
WG review.  I will be traveling home tomorrow and 
during that cross country flight will complete 
the review.  You will have the final inputs by COB Wed, 28 August.

      Erik Barkley (Approve with Conditions):  1) 
Section 2.4.2 states that configuration mapping 
requires a configuration service and/or directory 
service be present.  However the normative 
section of the document has no such 
requirement.  Please ensure that this is consistent.

2) The mapping requires the same APIDs to be used 
in mapping from MAL URI TO, UR FROM fields.  Does 
this work for the sub/pub interaction pattern? -- 
is the assumption then that all subscribers will 
have to understand the same set of APIDs?  My 
understanding as that missions may define APIDs 
to suit their own needs and do not necessarily 
coordinate the same definitions.   It seems that 
either this may not really work for real-world 
implementation or that shall statements 
addressing pub/sub with APIDs needs to be added.  Please clarify.

3) Perhaps not a condition that can be resolved 
directly by the WG, but it does seem important to 
address from an overall CCSDS perspective:  SPP 
is itself somewhat abstract, relying on the 
notion of a Logical Data Path (LDP) to route data 
over one or more sub networks.   Further, CCSDS 
has defined both AMS and MTS (a specialization of 
AMS).  So, in effect, is true inter-operation 
achieved with this binding book?  I will note 
that, as an example, in section 2.4, the 
definition of QOS is left rather ambiguous -- 
"...depends on the capabilities of the underlying 
layer to convey space packets".   Okay, and that 
would be?  AMS? MTS? If AMS/MTS are in fact under 
the SPP in figure 2-3, then isn't MAL  really 
needing to map/bind to these layers as well?   At 
a minimum, perhaps it would be worthwhile to 
consider figure 2-3 with AMS/MTS underneath 
it  and see how this works.  While it is true 
that, technically, this is out of scope of this 
book, I believe such an action may in fact better 
inform what a true interoperable binding may need 
to be.  At minimum this should help prepare the 
WG to answer questions from implementations teams 
as to how all this fits together.
