[CESG] [EXTERNAL] CESG Mid-term Telecon on 5th September - Introduction

Wed Sep 4 15:34:53 UTC 2019

Hi Peter,
fine with me, I will add an item to the Agenda to address the creation of 
new registries by the WGs.

Concerning the status of negotiations SOIS/MOIMS,  Mario and Jonathan are 
supposed to report during the Telecon tomorrow ( Agenda item 3, see last 
bullet of my e-mail) on the action(s) from the CESG Meeting in Mountain 
View.
We will assess the progress on those actions ( if any), and decide on the 
way forward.

Kind regards,
Margherita

Hi Margherita,

I suggest that we add an AI on Mario and Jonathan to discuss the status of 
negotiations on the SOIS / MOIMS interface.  This has been holding up the 
Yellow Book.

The other topic that has surfaced recently is how the WG are handling the 
creation of new registries, and the timing associated with this.  This has 
caused problems with a recent SPP update poll and more recently with a Nav 
WG poll.   We have a pretty clear policy and process, it is just not being 
followed.  To quote from some of the email traffic about the SPP issue:

"… during the CESG poll both Erik and I, separately, identified issues 
with the SANA Considerations section in the updated SPP document, CCSDS 
133.0-P-1.1.  The SANA section, as written, is not an adequate description 
of the intended registry.  Furthermore, it appears that no one ever 
contacted the SANA Operator to review this registry nor to develop a 
suitable prototype.  Our CCSDS procedures, in the Org & Proc doc, A02x1y4, 
call for following the SANA Procedures in CCSDS 313.0-Y-2.  And that 
document, and the Registry Management Policy, both point to the CCSDS 
Working Group Procedures for SANA Registry Specification, CCSDS 313.2-Y-1 
as the guide to what a WG must do to create or modify a registry.

What is blindingly clear is that these procedures were not followed and we 
now have a situation where a document that should be easily cleared for 
review and publication is not ready, the registry it calls for is not 
fully specified, and there is no draft/candidate registry, nor has the 
SANA Operator even been contacted.   This all violates CCSDS procedures."

There may be an issue in that there are three separate docs that must be 
looked at in order to understand both the policies and the procedures. But 
it is also the case that we can just point all WG Chairs at the rather 
modest sized "CCSDS Working Group Procedures for SANA Registry 
Specification, CCSDS 313.2-Y-1" as the guide to what a WG must do.

Thanks, Peter

Introduction

Dear All, 
in view of the CESG Mid-term Telcon on 5th September, I provide herewith 
some introduction about the topics that will be addressed. 
The following Agenda has been proposed ( in the invite) 

CESG Mid-term Telecon - AGENDA 

1)        Introduction, report from CMC meeting about CESG-related topics 
2)        A.I. on J.Wilmot: Notion of MIB, data formats (template) , 
commonality and possible relationship to other Areas (TBC). 
3)        Status of other A.I.s  from the CESG Meeting 
4)        Info about the Fall Meeting in Darmstadt 
5)        AOB 

Please let me know if you would like to add any AOB. 

Concerning AGENDA Item 1), the CESG have received the list of CMC 
Resolutions and Actions from Michael Balckwood on 17 June (also attached 
to this e-mail, for your convenience). 
Some Actions and resolutions are relevant to CESG. 
Please have a look.   
The following will be addressed during the Telecon: 

a) Resolution  CMC-R-2019-06-04 (involvement of CCSDS on Lunar Gateway) I 
will report about the steps taken by CMC and  by IOAG 
This action was generated following CESG request to "open a special 
channel between CCSDS and Gateway to discuss priorities on standards 
production and adoption by the Gateway". ( see MoM, AI/S19-5 MM) 

b) A.I. CMC-A-2019-06-01 ( Agency Representatives to verify the frequency 
bands used by missions that have been assigned SCIDs ) this is  partially 
accomplished. 
I will report from the CMC Telecon. 
Peter, please contribute to this topic. 

c) A.I.   •CMC-A-2019-06-05 The CMC asks that Peter Shames report to the 
CMC the process for reassigning SCID frequency bins. 
and  A.I. •CMC-A-2019-06-06 The CMC asks Peter Shames to  report to the 
CMC when the SCID frequency bins in SANA have been updated. 
Peter, please let us know about the status. 

d) A.I.  CMC-A-2019-06-07 about adoption by Gateway of USLP and other 
standards --> I will report ( Wallace to contribute) 

Concerning AGENDA Item 2),  from the CESG meeting in Mountain View, 
Jonathan is supposed to provide a presentation about the MIB for EDS and 
about potential commonality and relationship with the information models 
from other Ares ( F.R model in  CSS and network management in SIS). 
 I assume he will provide such presentation during the Telecon (I have 
sent a reminder on 22 July) 

Concerning AGENDA Item 3), Status of other  action items  from the CESG 
meeting. These are the A.I.s  related to "Deployment Scenarios for MO 
Services and Electronic Data Sheets" . AI/S19-6 PS, AI/S19-7 PS/MM/JW and 
AIS19-8 MM/JW 
Mario, Peter, Jonathan at the Telecon please report on the progress. 

Kind regards,
Margherita
