[CMC] ODM and SC14 forward action

[Craig Day]

I don¹t have a strong feeling on this either way but I am concerned about
this statement:

³In a nutshell, the CCSDS position is that the ODM document must be
published as an updated Blue Book and then forwarded to ISO for publication
as an International Standard using the cover-sheet method, but it is
acceptable to CCSDS if the ISO document number and the ISO review process
are both defined by SC14.²

The two approaches seem to completely contradict each other. If CCSDS/SC13
insist that its  document be published as a blue book and then forwarded to
ISO for publication using the cover-sheet method, then the option of SC14
defining a document number and the review process is precluded. The SC14
review process (the ³standard² ISO process) has been underway for some time
and its document is currently being prepared to be released as a Committee
Draft (before the end of February) to SC14 reviewers (as well as CCSDS
through the liaison status). The SC13 cover sheet method would put the CCSDS
blue book into review by the SC13 P-members at the DIS stage, at which
technical comments are not supposed to be submitted. This would not get the
document reviewed by SC14 stakeholders with adequate opportunity to submit
technical comments.

Right now it seems that there are two separate processes going on that, to
me, don¹t look to be converging into a single document. I¹m not sure that
Mr. Finkleman left the Colorado Springs meeting with the same impression of
what you are presenting below.
