[CMC] RE: Coordination between CCSDS and ECSS

[Kearney, Mike W. (MSFC-EO01)]

I have had two comments from CMC members to enhance my note, sent
previously.  

 

First is that the volunteer to draft the first version was our BNSC
representative, not an ESA representative.  I meant to say that it was
from one of the European agencies , not specifically ESA.   

 

The second one is that we should identify our Liaison points-of-contact
on both sides.  From the CCSDS side, the CMC has assigned this for now
to Nestor Peccia, CESG co-chair.  From the ECSS presentation I think
said it would be the TA.  Should we use your name, Thien?  If so, then
after the CMC poll, we would put your name as the contact on the CCSDS
Liaisons web page.  http://public.ccsds.org/participation/liaisons.aspx
<http://public.ccsds.org/participation/liaisons.aspx> 

 

I would also like confirmation from ECSS that you agree to the below
points before CCSDS proceeds with the CMC poll.  

 

Best regards,

Dear Mr. Lam-Trong and ECSS colleagues,

 

Thank you for taking the time to address the joint meeting of the CCSDS
Engineering Steering Group and Management Council on 9 October in
Darmstadt.

 

Your presentations provided a good deal of information on the current
state of ECSS and a proposal for future collaboration. We discussed them
further in the management council meeting the next day.  The notable
results are:  

*         We noted that like all others, ECSS was already able to submit
comments and RIDs for CCSDS documents under review.  

*         We noted that there were other standards organizations with
which we had liaison relationships, and we agreed that ECSS should also
become a liaison.  We will start the process with a CMC poll
immediately.  

*         We agreed that it would be useful to have a special liaison
statement with ECSS that address the goal of avoiding duplication.

*         One of our ESA representatives on the CCSDS Management Council
agreed to provide a first draft of that statement.

*         We will plan to iterate it with you, as you recommended in
your presentation.  

*         We hope that we will have a generally agreed upon document for
discussion at your 11 December ECSS SB meeting.

 

I believe that this essentially meets the intent of the ECSS proposals
in your presentation.   Thank you for taking the initiative to make the
presentation to the CMC.  Please feel free to contact me with any
questions or comments.

 

   -=- Mike
