[CESG] Changing scope of actual edits to a document: [EXTERNAL] Fw: [Cesg-all] Results of CMC Polls

Dear Peter,
        only one "general" comment to your remark about changing "scope of 
actual edits to a document" with respect to the approved CWE Project.

We all know that this indeed can happen.
However I think that we all agree that such change of scope (unless we 
talk about "peanuts") shall be properly controlled with 
1) proper WG consensus 
2) modification of the approved CWE Project (when the change is not 
trivial)
3) re approval by CMC (e.g. for changes of resources)

Of course only step #1 is always required while steps #2 and #3 depend of 
the nature of the added changes.
IMO ignoring this (and I think this is not the case for you) would 
undermine the - already low - confidence of WGs on CWE.
However it looks as we do not need such extreme details in Org&Proc.

Best regards

Gian Paolo

Dear Margherita,
 
I agree that some sort of modest changes to text could make some similarly 
modest changes in clarity.  I doubt that it is worth cresting a 
corrigendum for just this change, but would agree that these kinds of 
edits could be added to a list of similar items and handled all at once. I 
think Tom Gannett has such a list, so I have added him to this email 
reply.
 
I would also comment that it is possible that the scope of actual edits to 
a document, as opposed to planned edits, can change once the process has 
started.  It's sort of like a bathroom remodeling project where you start 
with just  wanting to paint the walls, and maybe changing the mirror, and 
you wind up replacing all of the cabinets and tiles too.  Or starting to 
fix what you think is a minor leak in the plumbing and discovering that 
there is now mold growing and you need to rip out the walls to fix it.
 
Maybe those analogies do not work for you, but these things can happen, so 
I think some latitude and flexibility is required.  But I do not believe 
that we need to say all of that in the Org & Proc.
 
Best regards, Peter

Dear Peter, 
The comment form Jaxa states: 
Section 6.1.4.4 (Page 6-5) states "…Blue Books are required to be 
prototyped before final approval and publication…"  Resources of Prototype 
1 and Prototype 2 are "Not required" for this 5-year review, however, 
there is no statement in the CCSDS A02.1-Y-4 whether the prototype tests 
are required for the New Projects of the 5-year review.  Will the 
necessity be identified in the course of the review process? 
I agree that the matter is already covered in CCSDS YB, Org & Proc, 
however, may be a simple change to the text would avoid misunderstanding 
in the future. For instance (in red): 
6.1.4.4   As  a  result  of  this  difference  in  prescriptive  content 
between  Blue  and  Magenta  books,  Blue  Books  are  required  to  be 
prototyped  before  final  approval  and  publication,  but  Magenta Books 
are not required to be prototyped. This applies also to updates of Blue 
Books, if/when new features are introduced. 

6.2.7.2.1.1  Revisions of published normative documents shall follow the 
procedures in 6.2.2 and 6.2.6. 
Concerning the question from Jaxa “….Will the necessity be identified in 
the course of the review process?”, I think the answer is that the 
necessity of prototyping can only be identified at the time the new 
project gets established, in that the relevant resources must be 
identified – and requested - via project approval. Therefore, this 
necessity cannot be identified during the review process. 
Kind regards,
Margherita

Dear Margherita,
 
This is already covered in the CCSDS YB, org & Proc, under the subject of 
"Periodic Review":

6.2.7 PERIODIC REVIEW 
6.2.7.1 General 
CCSDS documents shall undergo periodic review within the Area no later 
than five years after issue and every five years subsequently. Periodic 
review shall result in reconfirmation, revision, or retirement to CCSDS 
historical status. 
If the document is just reconfirmed then there is no need for a new 
protoyping effort.  If the document is revised in any significant way, 
especially is there are any changes to protocols, behavior, PDUs, data 
formats, signaling, then that falls under the "Revisions" clause:

6.2.7.2 Changes to Documents 
6.2.7.2.1 Revisions of Normative Documents 
6.2.7.2.1.1 Revisions of published normative documents shall follow the 
procedures in 6.2.2. 
6.2.7.2.1.2 The color designation for draft revisions of normative 
documents shall be “Pink” (rather than “Red”). 
6.2.7.2.1.3 In cases where only limited discrete changes are proposed to a 
published normative document, only the pages containing substantive 
changes (“Pink Sheets”) may be released for review. 
The procedures in sec 6.2.2 are those for normal, normative, document 
processing, which include prototyping and generation of a test report.  I 
believe that this is all clearly enough stated and that no changes to 
CCSDS A02.1-Y-4 are needed.
 
Do you concur?
 
Thanks, Peter

Dear Peter, 
the attached notification contains two comments  from Jaxa, where they 
query about Prototype activities for Blue Books under 5-years review : the 
point they make is that CCSDS A02.1-Y-4 does not explicitly mandate 
prototype testing for  books under 5-years review. Is this need to be 
established  e.g. during the review process itself ? 

Can you please take a look at the comment ? In case some text needs to be 
introduced in  CCSDS A02.1-Y-4, can you propose something to CESG ? 
Thank you, kind regards,
Margherita
