RE : [CMC] Communiqué from IOP-2

[Soula Jean-Marc]

Dear Adrian,
 
resolution # 5 of the IOP-2 just endorses the resolution R 12.9.1 that was already submitted to the CMC by its Chair on Nov 21 and that was supposed to be relayed to the CESG on Nov 24 for their review and comments.
 
The preliminary answer sent to the IOAG on Dec 05 says : "The CESG and CMC will also reconcile the resulting approach with the CCSDS agency priorities and the resources available for the work.".
 
At my level, I do not see any reason why my agency would have different priorities in CCSDS and IOAG as we are driven on both sides by same missions and their schedules.
 
Nevertheless, I'm interested in hearing the consolidated point of view of the CESG in terms of the difficulties they may have with the available resources to process this order of priorities ; 
- the first reply to IOAG could just indicate if and when we may accomodate their requirement : the unavailability of resources may in some cases lead to a different production planning that we should identify and report to IOAG
- the associated action should then be for the interested CMC delegates to call for the necessary resources in their agency.
 
When may a CESG analysis be made available ?
 
Best regards

	Objet : [CMC] Communiqué from IOP-2
	
	
	Please find the attached final Communiqué that was issued at this week's second Inter-Operability Plenary (IOP-2) meeting in Geneva, which concluded today.
	
	Your attention is drawn to the implications of Resolution #5, referencing IOAG R12.9.1 which states the following:
	
	    "R 12.9.1  The IOAG requests the CCSDS:
	                    to develop as a priority cross support transfer service specifications for:
	                    a) end-to-end CFDP service and
	                    b) end-to-end space packet service.
	                    to initiate the transition to an end-to-end networked communications architecture by :
	                    a)  developing a standard for CCSDS encapsulation service;
	                    b)  developing the DTN suite as standards
	                    c)  developing a recommended practice for the deployment of the IP suite.
	                    to consolidate existing standards and standards in work at a modest resource level, with a priority to the following:
	                    a)  space link monitoring cross-support transfer service standard 
	                    b)  guideline for the interagency routine file transfer service (best practices recommendation) 
	                    c)  time synchronization services"
	
	Is CCSDS comfortable with accepting these priorities?
	
	Best regards
	

	Adrian J. Hooke
	Chairman, CCSDS Engineering Steering Group (CESG) and
	CCSDS Technical Liaison to the IOAG
