Dear CMC Members:

In the absence of the Secretariat, I have been checking the CMC Polls page 
http://www.ccsds.org/CCSDS/Poll myself to see what has happened to recent 
actions that were recommended for CMC action by the CESG.

As far as I can tell the situation is as listed below. It would appear that 
although all four polls seem to lack an appropriate quorum of votes from 
senior Member Agencies:

a) MC-E03-11/12 have been approved,
b) MC-E03-13 has been approved pending ratifiaction by CNES,
c) No consensus has been reached on MC-E03-14 and therefore it has been 
rejected and will require further CMC deliberation.

Is this in fact the will of the CMC?

Best regards
Adrian J. Hooke
Chairman, CCSDS Engineering Steering Group (CESG)

MC-E03-12 The CCSDS resolves to approve an additional Red Book review of 
Orbit Data Messages (CCSDS 502.0-R-3). This resolution supersedes 
resolutions MC-F02-06 and MC-F02-09, which, respectively, authorized 
issuance of the document as a Blue Book and directed former subpanel P1J to 
"utilize PVL, or preferably XML" in the published document.

Not really "disagree" but request time to check with our expert not 
available at this time. Answer expected by 9 January 2004

MC-E03-14 The CCSDS resolves to approve release of Producer-Archive 
Interface Methodology Abstract Standard (CCSDS 651.0) as an issue-1 
[Blue/Magenta]* Book. The Secretariat is requested to make arrangements for 
publication. *The resolution, if approved, will specify either Blue or Magenta.

Approve publication as Blue Book    5    85.00%

A book, once on the standadrs track, cannot and must not be moved to the 
practices track. From the white paper status on it must stay on its track. 
On the fly changes would mean that the CMC did a wrong decision on the 
white book level already, which cannot be the case!!! See CCSDS A02.1-Y-1 
pink sheet page 6.

minimum criterion for a standard is that
the CESG unanimously agrees that it should be one.)
