[CESG-All] Recent CESG Poll Result - Request for CMC Poll for CCSDS 734.6-O-1

Sat May 23 09:48:46 EDT 2026

Brian,

I had an email conversation with Tomaso and have decided to proceed to the CMC with the book as it is.

So, no changes in the plan. Please proceed with the CMC Poll for CCSDS 734.6-O-1 as requested by Tomaso. This has been sent to you by Natalya.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Hi Simon,

Sorry but we cannot incorporate comments now like this. The book has been approved by the WG months ago and with the last steps done in the last weeks we improved the document to meet the requests from CESG.
In my opinion if the points raised by Keith are crucial, the book must go back to WG for discussion and in case it is agreed to introduce these changes, a new CESG poll must be started. If on the contrary the implied changes are minimal, we may publish the book as it is now and go for a corrige in a few months.

To have a proper decision, can you please share the comments received from Keith so that Felix can decide what to do next?

Thank you

Tomaso

Hi Tomaso and Brian,

Please give me a day or two.

I have received some comments for Keith Scott  on the Custody Transfer and I would we can tolerate some few days of delay to improve the book.

Dear all,

As a conclusion of this process, I’m pleased to share that the condition raised by Simon has been fulfilled (Simon himself added a few more details about the NASA prototype of CBR in the book). Furthermore, a table has been added to confirm the compliancy of the developed implementations to the given PICS, so as to consider the suggestion from Erik.
Attached you can find the final version prepared by Natalya already including all these changes.
With this, we can then proceed with the CMC poll for the book publication.

Best Regards,

Tomaso

Dear all,

Some comments about your points. @Felix Flentge<mailto:Felix.Flentge at esa.int> as rapporteur of this book can also provide more clarifications:

@Barkley, Erik J (US 343J)<mailto:erik.j.barkley at jpl.nasa.gov>: My impression is that your comments goes more in the direction of what typically happens in yellow books supporting the publication of blue books. It is a very valuable remark, but my understanding is that the “CCSDS holy bible” does not request such a detailed verification description for orange books.
@Singh, Somendra {Simon} (GSFC-5820)<mailto:simon.singh at nasa.gov>: Actually Annex C of the present version already includes details about the implementation from ESA used as reference for the book here. Were you expecting mode details about the implementation?
@Issler Jean-Luc<mailto:Jean-Luc.Issler at cnes.fr>: I understand your concern but I don’t agree with your proposition since there is a bunch of orange books going to be submitted for CESG publication approval in the next 3-6 months, which are very important for LunaNet and alike missions. Delaying or even stopping their publication would be very detrimental. Furthermore, a publication priority list has been already agreed at CESG level to avoid the tech editors team to be overloaded with editing of books of lower priority.

Regards,

Tomaso

CESG E-Poll Identifier: CESG-P-2026-03-002 Approval to publish CCSDS 734.6-O-1, Custody Transfer and Compressed Bundle Status (Orange Book, Issue 1)

Results of CESG poll beginning 2026-03-24 and ending 2026-04-07:
Agency
Results
Conditions
SIS-AD
APPROVE UNCONDITIONALLY
SLS-DAD
APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS (state conditions that must be satisfied)

As we have severe budget constraints, this year even more than last year (down 50% at ESA and NASA; down 30% at CNES), we should concentrate on getting only blue books out. We should avoid publishing orange and green books, even if they have passed the WGs to not overload the editors. This condition shall be discussed in the next CESG meeting.
SOIS-AD
APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS (state conditions that must be satisfied)

Please add description of current or planned implementations, even if they don't implement the whole book.
SEA-AD
APPROVE UNCONDITIONALLY
CSS-AD
APPROVE UNCONDITIONALLY

Not a condition -- just comments: 1) it would have been good to see a more formal test report with test cases and results indicated; 2) it would also be good to have see the ESA prototype racked up against the PICS.

Total Respondents: 5

Secretariat Interpretation of Results: Approve with Conditions
Proposed Secretariat Action: Setup CMC Poll once condtions have been met.
