[CESG] [CMC Alert] CCSDS Review of CCSDS 522.1-R-4, Mission Operations Monitor & Control Services

Mon Apr 24 17:50:35 UTC 2017

Tom,

as you pointed out the procedure states that "... the the review shall 
normally allow 60 days ... " and that 

"a) the length of the review period may be adjusted according to the size 
and complexity of the review document;?

The above clearly implies that our procedures allow, in certain cases, to 
shorten the review procedure. 

You probably followed the exchange between Peter and me: after a long 
discussion we finally agreed to go for the 4th expedite (i.e. 1 month) 
review as the way to meet Peter's conditions. My request for shortening 
the review was motivated by the fact that this is the 4th review. In 
addition, the 1 month review was also clearly spelled out in my resolution 
to call for the 4th review and I am not aware of anyone who opposed to 
that proposed approach.

I would appreciate if you could reconsider your position and change the 
review period to 1 month.

Regards,

__Mario

Dear Nestor:

There is no provision in our procedures for shortening review periods to 
one month, as requested in the MOIMS resolution.

?6.2.5.1 The schedule for the review shall normally allow 60 days from the 
time of the review commencement for Agencies to conduct review and return 
comments to the review coordinator:

a) the length of the review period may be adjusted according to the size 
and complexity of the review document;?

In this case the review document is not only large and complex, but also 
differs substantially from the issue the preceded it.

?6.2.5.2 . . .

                c) if substantive changes are made to a document that has 
completed review without technical comment, the Secretariat shall conduct 
a final review in which Agencies can approve or reject the document but 
may not suggest additional changes;

                d) the Secretariat shall follow the same procedures for 
posting review materials and review announcement for each iteration of a 
review.?

Provision 6.2.5.2 c) above does not apply in this case, because the 
previous review did not conclude without technical comment. Therefore this 
is a normal review, and provision 6.2.5.2 d) applies.

You, as CESG Chair, should support following CCSDS procedures. In any 
case, there is nothing in our procedures granting the CESG Chair authority 
to dictate that the Secretariat violate CCSDS procedures.

It is, however, in the purview of the CMC to hold CCSDS procedures in 
abeyance. I can set up a CMC poll requesting that review procedures for 
review of issue 4 of the MOIMS Red Book be ignored.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom, 

The MOIMS AD has requested in his resolution (see below) a shorter review 
period of 1 month for the 4th Agency Review of the book. 

As CESG Chair I fully support this request and its justification, but you 
have ignored it as CTE. 

Please reduce the review period to 1 month as requested. 

ciao

============================= 
Resolution MOIMS-SM&C WG-R-2017-04-003: Approval to release CCSDS 
522.0-R-4, MO MONITOR & CONTROL SERVICES, for CCSDS Agency review 

The MOIMS AD, 
CONSIDERING that the MOIMS/SM&C Working Group has already performed 3 
Agency Reviews of the proposed draft Recommended Standard on ?MISSION 
OPERATIONS ? MONITOR & CONTROL SERVICES?, 
CONSIDERING that the 3rd Agency Review has resulted in significant 
changes, 
CONSIDERING that  extensive additional comments have been received on the 
updated draft document as result of the CESG poll for publication, 
and RECOGNIZING that this version of the document has the approval of the 
SM&C WG Chair and of the MOIMS AD, 

RECOMMENDS that the CCSDS Engineering Steering Group, as previously 
agreed, releases the document as a draft Recommended Standard for an 
expedite 4th CCSDS Agency Review, which implies: 
No need for CESG/CMC poll for Agency Review (allowed by the YB) 
No/minimal re-checking of the draft document by the Chief Editor before 
initiating the Agency Review (being the 4th review, the document is 
already in the proper CCSDS format) 
The Chief Editor puts this document on top his waiting list queue 
The Agency Review period is shortened to 1 month (allowed by the YB).
