updates

Dear Margherita:

The CESG Polls to approve release of the updates to the SLE API Magenta 
Books for CCSDS review concluded with conditions. The conditions that need 
to be addressed by the Working Group are listed below. Current procedures 
for resolving poll conditions are given at the end of this message.

Best regards,
Tom Gannett

Approval Condition for CCSDS 914.0-P-1.1:

As backward compatibility implications for Generation 1 are stated, 
include also implications for Generation2.

Section E4.2 states that "The Application Program Interface specified in 
this Recommended Practice shall not be assumed to be backward compatible 
with specifications in earlier versions of the Recommended Practice.". 
Therefore the statements marked G1 or G2 (and not applicable to G3) cannot 
be inside mandatory clauses (with shall) but moved outside to be optional.

Approval Condition for CCSDS 915.1-P-1.1:

As backward compatibility implications for Generation 1 are stated, 
include also implications for Generation2.
>From the changes I can see in these pink sheets it looks to me that the 
markings [Gn:] / [Gn,m:] are never used in this document. Is this correct? 
If yes, why stating about those markers? Would it be simpler to omit that 
part or state that the convention is set but not needed yet till this 
version?
Please clarify.

Approval Condition for CCSDS 915.2-P-1.1:

As backward compatibility implications for Generation 1 are stated, 
include also implications for Generation2.

Approval Condition for CCSDS 915.5-P-1.1:

Include a note to explain why Generation 1 is not valid for this book.

Approval Condition for CCSDS 916.3-P-1.1:

Include a note to explain why Generation 1 is not valid for this book.
