[CESG] Projects for CFDP Blue Book / was: Draft CFDP Pink Sheet supporting an optional 'finished' PDU in class-1

[Gian.Paolo.Calzolari at esa.int]

Keith,
        let me understand the situation.

1) The latest version of the CFDP Blue Book is Issue 4 dated January 2007 
(see http://public.ccsds.org/publications/archive/727x0b4.pdf )
2) SIS-DTN is currently running a project titled "CFDP-over-BP Pink Sheet" 
for producing Issue 5 of the  CFDP Blue Book.
See http://cwe.ccsds.org/fm/Lists/Projects/DispForm.aspx?ID=199
This project is supposed to finish the work in August 2014.
3) It is proposed to create (resurrect) a SIS-CFDP WG to "accomplish the 
mandated 5-year reconfirmation review of the CCSDS File Delivery Protocol 
(CFDP) Blue Book"; i.e. to work on  CFDP Blue Book Issue 4.
4) The SIS-CFDP has currently no linked/proposed CWE Project so it is not 
possible to know when it will start work and will it will finish it (e.g. 
in parallel with SIS-DTN or after SIS-DTN issues CFDO #5?). ==> A CWE 
project linked to SIS-CFDP shall be created also to allow CMC to approve 
relevant resource needs.

It appears to me that with this situation we have a chance of having two 
WGs working on the same issue of the book (i.e. issue 4) unless SIS-CFDP 
will wait for Issue 5 being finalized bu SIS-DTN.

Sorry, but I am just puzzled.
Can you shed some more light?

Gian Paolo
