[CESG] [EXTERNAL] Re: Final edits of ASL ADD GB ready for review

Thu Jul 2 17:18:19 UTC 2020

Hi Tom,

The dispositions for all of the PID inputs, from Gippo, Erik, and Jonathan, as well as the other RID inputs from Dan Smith, Marek, David Berry, Xiongwen He, and a couple of other reviewers, are all covered in the disposition spreadsheet that is attached, for your edification.  We sent it out last week, on 23 June 2020, along with the final version of the document.  So far we have gotten closure only from Gippo and Dan Smith.  We have asked the others to provide feedback by CoB 7 July.

After that time, to avoid further delays, we will take silence as agreement and proceed with the formal request for the CESG second review.

Thanks, Peter

Gippo,

Ok.  You win.

The SAWG screwed up.  And your PID is withdrawn.

Now can we move on to get this published?

Thanks, Peter

Peter,
        sorry for being picky, but - as the footnote was not there at CESG Poll Time - YOUR solution is to change YOUR disposition to add nothing.
This is perfectly OK with withdrawing my useless PID and leaving you the option to do whatever you like.

Gian Paolo.

Gippo,

Sorry if it felt like a "game".  That was never our intent.  Having looked back into the history of the RID/PID processing I now recall what occurred.  It if obvious, in retrospect, that we seem to have gotten some wires crossed within the SAWG in how the agreed resolution was translated into the final text.

The agreed resolution was as you showed it.  I.e.

Accept, with mods

From: Existing text

To: There is no sensible EPP binding for MAL, but it could appear in a protocol diagram (or note) relative to CFDP or DTN

Please note that this text, as agreed by the SAWG, did not say "Add a footnote".  What it did say was "there is no sensible binding for EPP".  Unfortunately, when Roger Thompson encountered this he read it as "insert a footnote", and he did so.  That was an error, and was not what was intended.  I guess we could have been clearer and just rejected your PID outright at the time, based on that technical assertion.

As stated earlier, the fix is to remove the footnote.  We will do that promptly.  Sorry for any confusion and thanks for agreeing to withdraw the PID.

Thanks, Peter

Peter,
       Just to be clear:
1) I make a PID based on 371x0g0_CESG_Approval.pdf that never mentions EPP
2) YOU send me a disposition that says PID accepted with modification and propose to add a footnote (as visible in 371x0g0_PID dispositions 23June20 accept-ps.pdf)
3) I say that I accept this disposition and I just I ask to follow good practice referencing the document
4) YOU reply that "the correct fix for this is to remove that footnote", i.e. the opposite of YOUR disposition

Sorry, this is a game I am not ready to play.

I copy CESG to confirm that my PID is withdrawn.

Regards

Gian Paolo

Dear Gippo,

I really wish to avoid misunderstandings.  There was never a reference to EPP in this document.  A mention of it was added, but only in a footnote in sec 7.3.2, on pg 7-5, in response to your original PID.  This was to clarify, for you, that there is no binding for EPP, only for SPP.

I think the correct fix for this is to remove that footnote, since that is the only point at which EPP is mentioned at all.

Is that clear?

Thanks, Peter

Peter,
     I think there is a misunderstanding and I do not go further reading about 524.1-B.
To avoid polemics and to save energy, I am accepting your change as shown in the snapshot.
[cid:image001.gif at 01D6505A.1B0F13E0]
Since this change mentions a CCSDS blue book, it is "good practice" IMO to add the reference to the book.
In a blue book this reference would be added in the informative annex, in a green this option is not available.
So simple, editorial completion. No hidden purpose,

Ciao

Gian Paolo

Hi Gippo,

Thanks for taking the time to review the revisions to the spec.  I appreciate your diligence in this regard.

I do, however, have an issue with your request in regards this PID.  I completely understand your desire to add a reference to the EPP, in addition to the existing reference to the SPP.  This would appear to be a simple, parallel, sort of change and in many other circumstances would be easy to agree to.  But in this case I do not think this is technically viable.

I draw your attention to the requirement, within the MO MAL, for there to be a documented "technology binding".  There is no existing, documented, technology binding for the EPP, only for the SPP.  If you will look in the CCSDS 524x1b1, the " MISSION OPERATIONS—MAL SPACE PACKET TRANSPORT BINDING AND BINARY ENCODING" you will only find a reference to the SPP, CCSDS 133x0b1.  There is no mention of EPP.  Furthermore, that MAL SPP binding includes a very complicated diagram showing how the fields of the MAL abstract message are to be mapped to the SPP fields, including primary header and extended secondary header.  I attach that diagram here.
Since this relies on mapping the MO MAL fields to the APID and also to a specific secondary header, neither of which the EPP has, and there is no documented binding for EPP, I do not see how we can accept this.  This is not to say that an EPP binding could not be developed, just that there is not now one and creation of one seems unlikely.
I hope you concur.
Thanks, Peter

Peter,
    The disposition to my PID satisfies the condition if the Encapsulation Packet Protocol is also added among reference documents in section 1.6 (where SPP is already mentioned with superseded version 1).

Regards

Gian Paolo

________________________________

Dear SEA SAWG and other ASL reviewers,

The three editors of the ASL ADD GB (Krosley, Thompson, Shames) have completed our work of updating the document to resolve issues raised in the CESG review and also issues raised by other reviewers.  All of these files are now out in the SEA SA CWE area.  The final document, in Word and PDF form, is to be found here:

https://cwe.ccsds.org/sea/docs/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsea%2Fdocs%2FSEA%2DSA%2FDraft%20Documents%2FApp%20%2D%20Support%20Layer%20Green%20Book%2FASL%20ADD%20Final%20Doc%20%2D%20files&View=%7BA709F322%2D0E67%2D45C7%2D932D%2DCB78C55CE268%7D&

The separate files of revised figures for the SO materials are in that folder as well.  The files of revised figures for the MO materials are in a separate location:

https://cwe.ccsds.org/sea/docs/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsea%2Fdocs%2FSEA%2DSA%2FDraft%20Documents%2FApp%20%2D%20Support%20Layer%20Green%20Book%2FMOIMS%20Model%20and%20Graphics%2023%2D06%2D2020&View=%7BA709F322%2D0E67%2D45C7%2D932D%2DCB78C55CE268%7D&

A version of the Word doc that has track changes on (371x0g0_PID dispositions 22June20 track final) is to be found in the following folder along with other work products including the tracking spreadsheet where we recorded the SAWG resolutions and the final status:

https://cwe.ccsds.org/sea/docs/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsea%2Fdocs%2FSEA%2DSA%2FDraft%20Documents%2FApp%20%2D%20Support%20Layer%20Green%20Book%2FASL%20ADD%20Review%20inputs%20%2D%20resolutions&FolderCTID=0x012000F83FD93BEFF45E4FB5D1769B01CA762F&View=%7BA709F322%2D0E67%2D45C7%2D932D%2DCB78C55CE268%7D

The final copy of that tracking spreadsheet is attached here so that you can easily determine the status of your PIDs and/or RIDs.  All of the raw and transcribed RID & PID files, in various states of completion , are also in that folder.

All of the changes to this document, as you will see from the raw, track changes, version of the Word doc are extensive in scope.  There is hardly a page that did not get touched.  That said, these changes, for all their breadth, are not "deep".  They are largely editorial and for clarity rather than to effect any substantive change in meaning or scope.  However, because of their extent we do not think it appropriate to just ask to send this directly to publication.  Accordingly, we are asking that the SEA SAWG, and the reviewers who submitted PIDs or RIDs, review this final document and either concur with the changes, as made, or request further clarifications/adjustments.

We ask that you provide a response no later than two weeks from today, close of business, West Coast time, 7 July 2020.  If you do have issues or concerns please record them in the "Reclama" column, col J, of the attached tracking spreadsheet.

Thanks for your time and support, Peter
