 ====================================================


SEA-R-2018-04-04              Request that each CCSDS Agency and Observer ensure that they have at least one authorized Agency Representative (AR) for managing Agency information in the SANA, and that this information is updated.

The System Engineering Area,

CONSIDERING that:
The CCSDS SANA Registry Management Policy (CCSDS 313.1-Y-1, May 2016) defines CCSDS Organization, Contacts, Service Site and Aperture, and related registries, and that
The RMP specifies that each Agency shall designate at least one Agency Representative (AR) to control the agency information that is stored in these registries, and that
The SANA Operator has created all of these registries and populated them with initial values that were drawn from the CCSDS website records, and that
There is evidence that information for some organizations is missing or out of date, and that
The SEA SANA Steering group (SSG) and the CESG have reviewed and approved this resolution, and that
The SEA AD has reviewed this resolution and agrees that it is ready to be sent to the CMC for review and approval.

And RECOGNIZING that:
Each CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organizations who participate in CCSDS are the only authoritative sources of this information, and that
The orderly management of these SANA Registries requires that there is at least one identified AR for each agency, and that
The SANA Operator needs to know who the AR is for each agency in order to operate these registries, and that
The CCSDS SEA Area Director, as chair of the SSG, is responsible for requesting CMC approval of matters relating to the SANA.

RESOLVES to request:
That the Head of Delegation (HoD) of each CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organization confirm their Agency Representative (AR), or assign one if needed, who shall have responsibility for managing the entries in these registries, and that
The AR for each CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organization review the entries in the Organization, Contacts, and Service Site and Aperture registries to ensure that those entries for their organization are present are accurate, and that
These assignments and any needed updates are carried out within one month following CMC concurrence with the resolution, and that
The Secretariat initiate the CMC review of this proposal for approval, and that
The Secretariat then inform the SANA Operator of CMC concurrence with this resolution.

 ====================================================


SEA-R-2018-04-05              Require that each Agency Representative (AR) shall be asked to review the newly imported Mission / Spacecraft from the CCSDS Website and identify overlapping, aliased, missing, and/or retired entries.

The System Engineering Area,

CONSIDERING that:
The CCSDS SANA Registry Management Policy (CCSDS 313.1-Y-1, May 2016) defines a CCSDS Spacecraft registries, and that

The SANA Operator has further updated and validated this Spacecraft registry using the original paper forms, where available, and that
The SANA Operator has just integrated the separate list of 429 Spacecraft that were maintained on the CCSDS website, and that
This V&V operation has revealed that at least 117 of these spacecraft were not already present in the Spacecraft database, and that
A further (brief) review has indicated that some spacecraft that have allocated SCIDs and are operational are not yet registered in the SANA Spacecraft registry, and that
There is evidence that some organizations have been "self-assigning" SCIDs for operational spacecraft, which raises a risk of significant issues, and that
The SEA SANA Steering group (SSG) and the CESG have reviewed and approved this policy change, and that
The SEA AD has reviewed this resolution and agrees that it is ready to be sent to the CMC for approval.

And RECOGNIZING that:
A single, authoritative, registry of Spacecraft and their assigned CCSDS SCIDs is essential for orderly conduct of CCSDS space link communications and cross support, and that
The CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organizations who use CCSDS standards and develop CCSDS compliant spacecraft are the only authoritative source of this spacecraft information, and that
The RMP requires that each Agency or Associate must identify (or confirm) the Agency Representative (AR) who has responsibility for managing the entries in the Spacecraft registry, and that
The SANA Operator needs accurate information about Spacecraft and SCID assignments in order to operate the SCID registry, and that
Failure to correctly assign and use SCIDs could result in significant issues and/or loss of control of a spacecraft, and that
The CCSDS SEA Area Director, as chair of the SSG, is responsible for requesting CMC approval of SANA Policy changes.

RESOLVES to request:
That the Head of Delegation (HoD) of each CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organization confirm their Agency Representative (AR), or assign one if needed, who is delegated responsibility for managing the agency's entries in the Spacecraft registry, and that
The AR for each CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organization review the Spacecraft registry to ensure that those entries for their organization that are present are accurate, and that
The AR for each CCSDS Member, Observer, and Associate organization review the Spacecraft registry and ensure that retired spacecraft are correctly marked and the SCIDs are returned for use, and that
The Secretariat initiate the CMC review of this proposal for approval, and that
The Secretariat then inform the SANA Operator of approval for this operational policy change.
