[CCSDS Secretariat]

CESG E-Poll Identifier: CESG-P-2015-04-002 Approval to publish CCSDS 
551.1-O-1, Correlated Data Generation (Orange Book, Issue 1)
Results of CESG poll beginning 20 April 2015 and ending 4 May 2015:

                  Abstain:  1 (12.5%) (Suess)
  Approve Unconditionally:  3 (37.5%) (Merri, Behal, Barton)
  Approve with Conditions:  4 (50%) (Shames, Takeuchi, Cola, Calzolari)
  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Peter Shames (Approve with Conditions): I support the conditions 
raised by the SEA DAD and other ADs. The inclusion of modifications 
to the CCSDS space data link frame are really unacceptable. I believe 
that the document should be modified to only include the option that 
uses existing CCSDS data link features such as the frame secondary header.

Hiroshi Takeuchi (Approve with Conditions): 1. I think there is an 
issue in Section 2.3.2.b:

 > b). The CCSDS Transfer Frame could be modified to include a 
proprietary trailer
 > that would include the additional test data field (figure 2-4).

The concern is that by publishing even an Orange Book that just says 
"modify the CCSDS Transfer Frame" we are in some sense diminishing 
the importance of the CCSDS Transfer Frames and the formal process we 
have for making any changes to them.
I therefore request that the WG to remove the Section 2.3.2.b and 2.3.2.2.

2. There is a minor error in the Section 4.1.2.3:
For the purpose of of this discussion
->
For the purpose of this discussion

Tomaso de Cola (Approve with Conditions): 1) Implementation of the 
specified proposal requires important modifications to the present 
definition of the TM transfer frame (see section 2.3.2), whereby 
interoperability issue with current CCSDS TM SDLP protocol 
specification can arise.

2) Section 2.3.1 states that the aforementioned blocks maybe TM 
transfer frames. Does it mean that the proposed solution could be 
applied to other PDUs defined in the corresponding CCSDS protocol stack layers?

Gian Paolo Calzolari (Approve with Conditions): I share the doubts 
about the TM Transfer Frame expressed by colleagues.
At the very least a clear remark stating e.g. some of the proposed 
solutions are non standard and they will have to be evaluated by 
pertinent WG's in case of an escalation effort for this orange book 
towards the status of Recommended Standard.
For the optional Test Data Field it may be more realistic proposing 
it at the end of the Transfer Frame Data Field as project specific solution.
