[Thomas Gannett]

CMC E-Poll Identifier:  CMC-P-2007-06-003: Authorization to establish 
SOIS Application Support Services Working Group

Results of CMC poll beginning 7 June 2007 and ending 22 June 2007:

                 ADOPT:  1 (14.29%) (JAXA)
   ADOPT PROVISIONALLY:  6 (85.71%) (BNSC, CNES, DLR, ESA, INPE, NASA)
                REJECT:  0 (0%)
  REJECT WITH COMMENTS:  0 (0%)

      BNSC:  As others have noted, this is a revision of an existing 
charter, not the creation of a new WG. Other than recording that, I approve.
      CNES:  SOIS messaging service compatibility vs MAL (Messaging 
Abstraction Layer) of SM&C is to be confirmed
      DLR:  please clarify, why the goal of the working group is only 
to provide a magenta and not a blue book.
      ESA:  It is not a resolution to create a WG. That WG exists 
already and it is a matter of extending its existance by agreeing on 
a revised charter (e.g. dates, documents).
      INPE:  For the sake of long term, effective onboard cross 
support, the widest possible Agency participation is certainly a 
fundamental factor in the work which is under proposal. The current 
Charter is an update of the already existing WG, naturally touching 
the higher, application layer, as a natural complement to the 
Subnetwork Services WG Charter which is also under consideration, at 
the moment. The Charter should explicitly include a justification 
which explains why the Magenta Book set is under consideration, in 
place of a Blue Book one.
      NASA:  he NASA provision for adopting this is that NASA does 
not currently have the resources to commit to a leadership role, so 
"NASA" must be removed from the "Working Group chair" line of the 
Resources section.  NASA will agree to remain in the research and 
prototyping activities, although the exact support level is 
TBD.  NASA therefore plans to support the working group, but only as 
resources are available. NASA does intend to actively seek to secure 
new future resources".
