[CMC] REVIEW AND UPDATE OF CHARTERS

[Adrian J. Hooke]

Area Directors: the current (March 2006) CCSDS Operating Plan - containing 
the approved Working Group (and BOF) charters - is attached..

Since any WG which is operating either beyond its charter or on a schedule 
that isn't conforming to its charter is subject to termination by the CMC, 
it is important that you check to see how well the groups are doing. At the 
June CCSDS Management Council meeting the CMC will review of your Area's 
progress in the context of what the plan states. If you find that an 
approved WG  Charter needs update, here's how you do it.

1. Current individual charters have been saved as separate files in the 
CESG Private Document Library, within the CWE. Go there in discrete steps 
as follows:

http://public.ccsds.org/sites/cwe/cesg/Documents.aspx  [log-in to CWE: 
anyone who does not already have a CWE user ID and password should contact 
Brian Oliver <brian.oliver at btas.com> to obtain them]

Alternatively, the direct link to the Charters folder is as follows:

http://public.ccsds.org/sites/cwe/cesg/Private/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fsites%2fcwe%2fcesg%2fPrivate%2fCCSDS%20Operating%20Plan%2f2006%2fDrafts%2fCharters&View=%7b6911D521%2d5B97%2d44C3%2d842A%2dCF80CC075C3A%7d

File names for the charters correspond to WG names; the numbers at the 
beginning of each file name correspond to the respective subsection within 
the Operating Plan.

2. Download the charter directly from the Document Library at the above 
link and to save a local copy.

3. Update the local copy of the charter to reflect current planning. Make 
sure that all changes are clearly identified, using the Word "Tools" and 
"Track Changes" pull-down menus.

4. Send the proposed charter update to the CESG for review. If approved, we 
will send it to the CMC prior to the June meeting and the CMC can then 
decide whether to accept the revised charter, or to take some other action.

Remember, it's up to you to ensure that your Working Group charters are 
current. If you need to make a change, take care of it now.

Best regards
Adrian
