[CCSDS Secretariat]

CESG E-Poll Identifier: CESG-P-2017-08-001 Approval to publish CCSDS 
122.0-B-2, Image Data Compression (Blue Book, Issue 2)
Results of CESG poll beginning 2 August 2017 and ending 16 August 2017:

                  Abstain:  0 (0%)
  Approve Unconditionally:  5 (83.33%) (Shames, Burleigh, Cola, Moury, Wilmot)
  Approve with Conditions:  1 (16.67%) (Merri)
  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Mario Merri (Approve with Conditions): Mine is more a question than a 
condition.

I see from the YB that the compressors have been independently 
developed, but I could not see anything similar for the 
decompressors. I would have thought that a meaningful 
interoperability testing would have been for the 2 Agencies to 
reciprocally compress/decompress images. Could you please clarify?

[This condition was satisfied prior to poll closure.]

Peter Shames (Approve Unconditionally): This document only include 
the Security Annex, which is largely void of content. Since the 
current Publications manual does not require SANA and patent sections 
if they are not relevant this is deemed accaptable.

131.0-B-3, TM Synchronization and Channel Coding (Blue Book, Issue 3)
Results of CESG poll beginning 2 August 2017 and ending 16 August 2017:

                  Abstain:  0 (0%)
  Approve Unconditionally:  6 (100%) (Merri, Shames, Burleigh, Cola, 
Moury, Wilmot)
  Approve with Conditions:  0 (0%)
  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Mario Merri (Approve Unconditionally): Comment: no YB here? Why?

Peter Shames (Approve Unconditionally): Comments, concerns, but not 
conditions ... it's time to get this published.

- The use of "CADU or SMTF" seems overly convoluted. A simpler and 
cleaer formulation could have been adopted.

- The term "SMTF" always looks like "LSMFT" to me. Anyone who does 
not get it should look it up.
- The insertion of the line "Only one user can use this service on a 
Physical Channel." on pg A-1 does not add clarity, only confusion. 
You can only understand what is really being meant by unwinding the 
reference back to ISO 10731, where this appears: "OSI-service-user: 
An entity in a single open system that makes use of an OSI-service.". 
So "user" in this case is really just some system entity at the 
physical channel level. Since there could be two (or more) passive 
receiving entities tracking a single S/C this "only one user" is a 
meaningless distinction.

Scott Burleigh (Approve Unconditionally): Not a condition, just a 
comment: I would normally expect to see the Service definition in the 
body of the specification rather than in an Annex.

Tomaso de Cola (Approve Unconditionally): Minor: atpage v, I read 
LCPC instead of LDPC
