Results of CESG poll beginning 30 June 2021 and ending 14 July 2021:

                 Abstain:  2 (33.33%) (Merri, Duhaze)
Approve Unconditionally:  2 (33.33%) (Barkley, Cola)
Approve with Conditions:  2 (33.33%) (Moury, Wilmot)
Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)
CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

     Erik Barkley (Approve 
Unconditionally):  Just a comment, not a 
condition:  it is nice to see that coding on the forward link is being added.

     Gilles Moury (Approve with 
Conditions):   Remove the terms "forward links" 
and "return links" and replace by 
"ground-to-space links" and "space-to-ground 
links" as per attached file (Telecom Blue 
WG_20210604gpc.docx). Rationale: the terms 
forward links and return links are not used in 
other SLS recommendations. Besides, the proposed 
definitions of forward and return links refer to 
the undefined terms "caller" and "responder".

     Jonathan Wilmot (Approve with 
Conditions):  Agree with other comments on return 
link/forward link. Space to space (including 
surface to space, space to surface) blur these 
definitions. Each side of link is both commanding 
and telemetry. Need better common terms to make 
clear the bi-directionality of commands and 
telemetry over the same RF links. Would be good 
to clear up before agency review

Certification of Candidate Trustworthy Digital 
Repositories (Pink Book, Issue 2.1) for CCSDS Agency review
Results of CESG poll beginning 30 June 2021 and ending 14 July 2021:

Approve with Conditions:  1 (16.67%) (Sanchez)
Disapprove with Comment:  0 (0%)
CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

     Ignacio Aguilar Sanchez (Approve with 
Conditions):  The following paragraph includes the word 'security' at the end.
"B4 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT APPLYING SECURITY TO THE 
TECHNOLOGY If adequate steps are not taken to 
address security issues then the information held 
by the  repository may be put at risk, in 
particular risking confidentiality and security."

That word should be replaced by either 
'integrity' or 'authenticity', which is like 
'confidentiality', a specific security feature to be highlighted.

     Jonathan Wilmot (Approve 
Unconditionally):  Reference format is not 
consistent. It is listed as reference [1]  " ISO 
16363" . another time it's "CCSDS 652.0-M-1/ISO 
16363" , and other times it's just reference [1 ]
