Peter,
you may want to list the seven (7) identified Type 2 ?SIM?
allocations that could be recovered at once as an hint for CMC (an not
only to CMC) to see what you are speaking about and which agencies are
affected.

Sent by: cesg-bounces at mailman.ccsds.org
Dear CMC,
This is in reply to the CMC poll, CMC-P-2016-01-002, that requested
approval for the SANA to revover all of the SCIDs that are assigned to
simulators and other ?flight-less birds?. The response to this poll also
made reference to other polls that addressed this same topic, but from
different perspectives. The initial poll was CMC-A-2015-11-02 which was
sent out in November 2015, asking that the SANA inform the agencies of the
SCIDs that were assigned to Simulators and that the agencies reply by 31
Jan 2016.
The status of this topic was discussed in the recent CESG meeting held in
Cleveland on 11 April 2016. The motivation for this action is that the
number of unassigned Type 2 (AOS) SCIDs that are now available for
allocation is only two (2). Some concrete action by the CCSDS member
agencies must be taken now or we risk not being able to support new space
missions wishing to use the AOS protocol. Of course, this necessity to
free up unused SCIDs must not put operating missions at risk, but this
same risk does not, and cannot, be applied to simulators which do not get
communicated to by RF radiation..
Here is the chronology of activities related to this situation:
CMC-A-2015-11-02 Request to return SIM SCIDs
"SANA was requested to circulate a list, by agency, of the SCIDs that
should be returned to SANA.
CMC member agencies should provide a response to SANA by 31 January 2016.?
1. The SANA circulated this request to each of the agencies.
2. Some agencies have responded (one such response is at the end of
this message).
3. Not all agencies responded to this request
CMC-P-2015-12-003 Approval of Reclaiming Simulator SCIDs from the Registry
1. The resolution was provisionally accepted
2. CNES and JAXA stated specific provisions asking for ?time to
resolve", but with no defined completion date
3. There appears to have been no further action to close these
provisions on behalf of the agencies
CMC-P-2016-01-002 Request approval of SANA action to recover SCIDs
assigned to simulators
1. CNES and ESA ask for additional time
2. ESA & CSA ask for a list of the spacecraft
3. The list of spacecraft was sent to each agency with the original
request, back in December 2015
4. There is no agreed termination point provided, but extending the
dealine to ?end of February? is proposed by ESA
5. INPE asks for a periodic (yearly) communique to the agencies re
their assigned SCIDs
It is now the middle of April 2016, well past the ?end of February? date
that was proposed by ESA. No other agency proposed a closure date. The
CESG discussed this topic on 11 April 2016. This is the analysis provided
by SEA and concurred by the CESG:
By definition any simulator or ?flight-less bird? is never communicated to
using free space RF radiation.
The whole purpose of SCID assignment is to provide a unique CCSDS
identifier so that there is no mistake when sending data to S/C using RF
radiation.
Unless these rules are violated there is no possibility of ambiguity if
the SCIDs for simulators or ?flight-less birds? are recovered and
re-assigned.
In practical terms, the agencies may continue using the current SCIDs, or
any other SCIDs that they wish to select, for simulators or ?flight-less
birds?, as long as they do not radiate them.
Managing these ?SIM SCIDs? is then purely an agency matter.
Agencies have been notoriously slow (or un-responsive) in responding to
requests for feedback or returning OIDs
By count there are seven (7) identified Type 2 ?SIM? allocations that
could be recovered now
There is no technical reason to delay this further, especially since there
are only two (2) unassigned Type 2 SCIDs remaining.
It is already four (4) months since the original request was made and it
is one and one half months past the end of February date proposed by ESA.
Since agencies may continue to use the SCIDs for their simulators, without
risk of any kind, there is really no technical reason why this action to
recover these SCIDs and make them available for assignment to real
spacecraft should not be done immediately.
In order to avoid the very real possibility of running out of Type 2 SCIDs
for assignment to real, operating, spacecraft the CESG requests that the
CMC concur with this request CMC-P-2016-01-002.
If the CMC insists that still more time is needed then the following is
proposed:
1. The SANA be instructed to again send out to each agency, the list
of SCIDs that they have assigned for simulators and flightless birds
2. The agencies be given one month more, from the time that these
lists are sent out, to coordinate with their missions
3. At the end of this time that the SANA take the action to recover
these SCIDs, place them at the end of the list as is the current practice,
and make them available for re-assigment to new spacecraft

CMC E-Poll Identifier: CMC-P-2016-01-002
Request approval of SANA action to recover SCIDs assigned to simulators
Results of CMC poll beginning 5 January 2016 and ending 31 January 2016:
ADOPT: 5 (55.55%) (CNSA, DLR, FSA, JAXA, NASA)
ADOPT PROVISIONALLY: 3 (33.33%) (CSA, ESA, INPE)
REJECT: 0 (0%)
REJECT WITH COMMENTS: 1 (11.11%) (CNES)
Results are based on responses from 9 out of 11 members (81.81%).
No response was received from the following Agencies:
ASI
CSA
RESPONCES
CNES (REJECT WITH COMMENTS) - The timeout is too short ; conditions
stated in the previous CMC-P-2015-12-003 have not been disposed nor taken
into account in this new poll.
CSA (ADOPT PROVISIONALLY) - It would be a good idea to get a list of SCIDs
assigned to simulators per agency to make a last verification with our
users before adopting this resolution.
ESA (ADOPT PROVISIONALLY) - It would be advisable to try and close action
CMC-A-2015-11-02 and subsequent Agency responses if it has not happened so
far.
I do not recall ESA having been informed of the SCIDs that are assigned to
simulators.
I suggest to extend the deadline for the Agencies to relinquish the SCIDs
assigned to simulators by end of February 2016
INPE (ADOPT PROVISIONALLY) - It would be advisable that SANA may send,
possibly on an yearly basis,in separate, to each of the AGENCIES and
ORGANIZATIONS representatives, an appropriate summary of the SCIDs which
are assigned to each of them, for their verification and, under a
deadline, response to the SANA Authority, reconfirming and or rectifying
any existing assignment.
Secretariat Interpretation of Results: Rejected
Inferred Secretariat Action: Poll was rejected. Inform Peter Shames

SCIDs from the Registry
Results of CMC poll beginning 08 December 2015 and ending 22 December
2015:
Adopt: 7 (77.77%) (CNSA, DLR, ESA, INPE, NASA, UKSA)
Adopt Provisionally: 2 (33.33%) (CNES, JAXA)

Results are based on responses from 9 out of 11 members (81.81%).
No response was received from the following Agencies:
ASI
FSA
Provisions
CNES - agrees on the following:
- the first action should be for all agencies to return the unused codes
as it is obvious there are many (SC no longer in operations) ; this is
considered the most efficient action to recover SCIds.
- no SCId should be allocated to simulators from now.
CNES agrees on the principle but will put a condition on the assigned
GSCIds for simulators:
- when the list of those affected is provided by SANA, some time is needed
to run a coordination with the projects and SANA should only remove these
SCIds when the Agency representative will confirm agreement.
- as simulators are mainly version 1 SCIds, with more margins for new
allocation, the additional delay is estimated acceptable ; however, CNES
will first process the version 2 Ids, if any.
JAXA - agrees on the resolution. However, coordination on reclaiming SCIDs
which have been assigned for satellites under development take sometime,
and this circumstance should be taken into account.
Secretariat Interpretation of Results: Adopted Provisionally
Resulting CMC Resolution: CMC-R-2015-12-009
Inferred Secretariat Action: Once Provisions Met, SANA
Reclaim Simulator SCIDs.

Betreff: [SANA #8630] Request to return SIM SCIDs (CMC-A-2015-11-02)
Dear Agency Representative,
Following the CMC resolution CMC-A-2015-11-02:
"SANA was requested to circulate a list, by agency, of the SCIDs that
should be returned to SANA.
CMC member agencies should provide a response to SANA by 31 January 2016."
You will find attached the candidate list of SIM SCIDs found for your
agency. Please confirm they
are indeed used for simulation and that they can be returned.
To relinquish, please provide then following information by email at
info at sanaregistry.org:
- SCID
- Version
- Spacecraft Name
- Channel(s)
- Frequencies
- Contact information (Name and affiliation) of the requester
Note the following context about the sim SCIDs:
* This same request is being made of all agencies who have requested SCIDs
for simulators and other
?flight-less birds"
* The CMC intends for all of these simulator Ids to be returned to the
pool of SCIDs available for
assignment for active mission communications
* Please relinquish these SCIDs, using the normal mechanisms defined in
CCSDS 320.0-B-6, no later
than 31 January 2016
* Agencies may, within their own ground networks, continue to use these
same numbers for their own
purposes
Thank you.
