CMC E-Poll Identifier:  CMC-P-2007-01-002: Authorization 
to approve Asynchronous Message Service (AMS) for Agency 
review

Results of CMC poll beginning 9 January 2007 and ending 31 
January 2007:

                 ADOPT:  5 (50%) (ASI, CSA, INPE, NASA)
   ADOPT PROVISIONALLY:  4 (50%) (BNSC, CNES, DLR, JAXA)
                REJECT:  0 (0%)
  REJECT WITH COMMENTS:  0 (0%)

      BNSC:  Also agree with comments from DLR

DISPOSITION [BNSC]:  See DISPOSITION [DLR], below.

      CNES:  Two questions in fact for clarification 
before the Agency Review:
- 1 - Which two prototypings were realized to consolidate 
this Red-1 version of the AMS ?

- 2 - Isn't it worth waiting till the Red-1 version of the 
"Messaging Abstraction Layer" (MOIMS/SM&C) is also ready 
for agency review, so that both recommendations which have 
obvious interfaces between them, are jointly reviewed 
across the agencies ?

DISPOSITION [CNES1]:  Prototype implementations are 
required prior to release of Blue Books.  No such 
requirement holds for Red Books.

DISPOSITION [CNES2]:  The AMS and SM&C WGs have agreed on 
an approach with which the added value of parallel review 
does not appear to justify delay of the AMS Red-1 review 
(see DISPOSITION [DLR], below).

      DLR:  The agency review should wait the decision of 
the colorado meeting. Most of the rids are said to be 
clarified there. It makes no sense to ignore the 
dispositions of the currently available RIDs and start 
already the agency review.

DISPOSITION [DLR]:  In discussions between AMS and SM&C 
WGs in Colorado Springs, agreement was reached on the 
following approach: to define multiple approved SM&C 
protocol stack profiles in a series of magenta books, not 
all of which would mandate AMS.

      JAXA:  JAXA agrees with DLR

DISPOSITION [JAXA]:  See DISPOSITION [DLR], above.
