CONDITIONS/COMMENTS:

     Ignacio Aguilar Sanchez (Approve with Conditions):   RID-41 of 
the Agency Review of this standard introduced 'sensitivity' as 
additional metadata. The supporting analysis indicated that this 
marking was in addition to security considerations. However, the 
provided example referred to a need-to-know consideration, which is a 
typical security consideration for information classification and its 
distribution.

The RID was accepted and the optional 'sensitivity' field was added 
as part of the standard. However, the use and meaning of this 
'sensitivity' field was purposedly not defined in the standard. As 
mentioned, the provided example showed an overlap with security 
considerations. Hence, one can wonder whether this additional field 
is needed and what it will actually be used for.

To close this condition for approval, it is recommended for CSS/CSSM 
WG to discuss this PID with both the SEA Security WG and the RID 
author and come up with a conclusion about its need, its name, its 
definition and its possible use.

     Jonathan Wilmot (Approve with Conditions):   I would expect 
the   CFDP references would be updated to the 202x versions .

H7 reference is listed but never used
