Schedule-Aware Bundle Routing (Red Book, Issue 1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 20 June 2018 and ending 5 July 2018:

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

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Erik Barkley (Approve Unconditionally): This can 
be either treated as condition or input at the 
time of the agency review. I will put the 
question to the WG: given that CCSDS is an 
international standards body, should not all 
units and any arithmetic be those of the 
international system of units (SI)? I can not 
identitfy any other CCSDS recommendation that 
expresses quanties in imperial units. I recommend 
that text expressing miles per hour, etc be 
struck and that SI units such kiomoteres per hour 
be used exclusively. Forutanetly this is 
contained to section 2.4.2 as far as I can tell, 
and should be fairly easy to revise.

Peter Shames (Approve Unconditionally): There are 
some open issues that have been identified in the 
use of registries in the DTN protocol suite, and 
these affect this standard as well. I believe 
that Nodes, Endpoint Identifiers, and Bundle 
Agents ought to be registered in some way and 
that use of the RMP specified registries, 
including the Organization and SSA are obvious ways to accomplish this.

After a lengthy discussion with Burleigh & Scott 
a way forward to resolve this by updatingthe 
existing registries, and adding DTN service site entries, as been agreed upon.

Approval to release CCSDS 401.0-P-28.1, Radio 
Frequency and Modulation SystemsPart 1: Earth 
Stations and Spacecraft (Red/Pink Sheets, Issue 28.1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 20 June 2018 and ending 5 July 2018:

                  Abstain:  2 (33.33%) (Merri, Behal)
  Approve Unconditionally:  4 (66.67%) (Barkley, Shames, Burleigh, Wilmot)
  Approve with Conditions:  0 (0%)
  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Erik Barkley (Approve Unconditionally): A comment 
(only) re Recommendation/Table 3.1.7-1 -- these 
are sensible options for MSPA, but I think it 
should be kept in mind that there is an 
inter-area options trade space -- namely DTN vs 
MSPA. MSPA in all of its various 
flavors/recommendations does not seem to scale as 
well as DTN -- but then DTN imposes other 
needs/considerations for implementing agencies to 
be properly managed. The trade is essentailly 
that of multiplexing at a link level vs network 
level. I urge CCSDS and its member agencies to 
develop a long term strategy taking both MSPA techniques and DTN into acount.

Approval to release CCSDS 350.8-P-1.1, 
Information Security Glossary of Terms (Proposed 
Pink Book, Issue 1.1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 20 June 2018 and ending 5 July 2018:

                  Abstain:  0 (0%)
  Approve Unconditionally:  4 (66.67%) (Barkley, Shames, Burleigh, Wilmot)

  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Mario Merri (Approve with Conditions): Since this 
book it is merely a glossary of terms, it is not 
clear to me why it has not been taken this 
opportunity to silverise the original GB and put 
the terms in SANA at https://sanaregistry.org/r/terms/records/104

Cryptographic Algorithms (Proposed Pink Sheets, 
Issue 1.1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 20 June 2018 and ending 5 July 2018:

                  Abstain:  0 (0%)

  Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

Mario Merri (Approve with Conditions): The main 
change is the strenghen of the authenticaltion 
keys. These have been increased, thus making 
implementations that followed the previous CCSDS 
recommentation not-compliant. Why has the 
document update not been made in a 
backward-compatible manner, still strongly recommending the new key lengths?
