     Erik Barkley (Approve with Conditions):   1) 
Please spell out the title on the cover page of 
the document.  Why can the title not be spelled 
out in full (Serially Concatenated Convolutional 
Coding Extension) ?  This would be of service to 
anyone scanning through the set of CCSDS 
standards to understand this more quickly.
     Peter Shames (Approve with 
Conditions):   Just to avoid future confusions, 
explicitly change 1.3 Applicability from:

This Experimental Specification document applies 
to future data communications over space links 
between CCSDS Agencies in cross-support situations.

To:

This Experimental Specification document applies

Approval to publish CCSDS 131.31-O-1, CCSDS Space 
Link Protocols over ETSI DVB-S2X Standard (Orange Book, Issue 1)
Results of CESG poll beginning 1 June 2020 and ending 15 June 2020:

Approve with Conditions:  0 (0%) Disapprove with Comment:  1 (25%) (Shames)

CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

     Peter Shames (Disapprove with 
Comment):  This document contains the same 
language, with the same concerns, as were 
identified in the proposed revisions to the 
existing DVB-S2 standard.  Until such time as the 
SLS Area reaches closure on those issues, and 
related issues raised in ALACAMAD, publication of 
this document is also an issue.

Approval to release CCSDS 141.0-P-1.1, Optical 
Communications Physical Layer (Pink Sheets, Issue 1.1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 1 June 2020 and ending 15 June 2020:

                 Abstain:  1 (16.67%) (Merri)
Approve Unconditionally:  3 (50%) (Shames, Burleigh, Calzolari)
Approve with Conditions:  2 (33.33%) (Barkley, Wilmot)
Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)
CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

     Erik Barkley (Approve with Conditions):  1) 
Please check and correct, as needed, the document 
pagination; the CESG review copy goes straight 
from page 7-1, to A-4; there appears to be some missing pages.

     Jonathan Wilmot (Approve with 
Conditions):   Please add data types and/or units 
to managed parameters.  Table 7.2 telemetry 
signaling center frequency selection parameter 
-18 to 28.  Is that a signed integer or is -17.9 
valid? Similar for Beacon pulse repetition rate, 
is 1.02 kHz valid? Why make software engineers guess?
Not sure why Figure 2-1 is different from other 
CCSDS documents. Why was term “Transfer Frame 
Generation” used instead of the term “Data Link 
Protocol” which is used in many other CCSDS 
books? If “Transfer Frame Generation” is the 
preferred term, consider changing “for producing 
Transfer Frames” to “for generating Transfer Frames” in the section above.
