[CMC] Important CMC poll reminder: Approving projects

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

Dear CMC colleagues:

This is a reminder to vote in the CMC poll that closes Monday, April 8.
http://public.ccsds.org/sites/cwe/cmc/polls/Lists/CMCP201303011/NewForm.aspx

This is important because it "re-baselines" all of the projects (CCSDS documents), and gives approval of the CMC.  You must agree to two things:


(1)    You agree that your agency will provide the resources where you agency is listed as supporting each document.

(2)    You look at the plan from a CCSDS overall view, and agree that the other documents are also OK as far as resources go.

For (1), if you find that your agency is listed as providing resources that you do not agree with, then you should "adopt with provisions" and state the change that you want in order to adopt.  For example, I just voted for NASA and stated two changes that are needed because of lack of NASA resources.

For (2), note that some documents have TBD or unspecified resources.  In most cases, we have heard that these are very far in the future, or the WG chair believes that the resources should not be a problem to assign later on.  However, if you are concerned that we may be approving a document project that will fail because of lack of resources, you should indicate so with "adopt with provisions" comments explaining which document should not be approved.

At the CMC meeting in Bordeaux, Nestor will present the CESG view of documents that have incomplete resources, and whether there is any risk in continuing those projects.  At that time, we can decide whether any projects at risk should be cancelled.  Personally, I would recommend that we for now we "adopt" these documents to be rebaselined (with any changes necessary for your agency) and discuss any necessary cancellation in Bordeaux.  However, if you have a different opinion, you should cast your vote accordingly, of course.

Previous emails on this topic are included below.

Thanks and I look forward to these discussions in Bordeaux.

Note - New Bordeaux agenda will be sent soon.
Note - There are two other polls that close tomorrow, Friday, April 5.

CMC Colleagues:  The note below from Nestor has a very important point.

Before the telecon, you should look at the Framework Resources view.  You will see your agency listed as committing resources to various working groups.  You should verify that your agency agrees to provide those resources.
http://cwe.ccsds.org/fm/Lists/Projects/Resources.aspx

If you do not agree, you should first contact the working group chair and clarify with him anything you do not understand.  If your agency does not agree to provide those resources or functions (book editor, prototype, etc.), the WG chair may need to withdraw your agency's name from that document.

After the CMC telecon, we will have a CMC poll to approve the working groups as recommended by the CESG (the list on Nestor's Spreadsheet, attached).  During that poll, if there are problems with the resources from your agency, you should "Adopt with provisions" and state what the problem is.  However, it would be better to get the problems straightened out before the poll starts.  So please look at it this week and try to confirm that the plan with your agency's resources is OK.   Or call the working group chair or Area Director if it is not OK.

Also, you should look at the spreadsheet and confirm that you agree with the CESG approach to approve a few document projects even though all resources have not been completely identified.  If you do not agree, we should discuss it during the telecon on this coming Friday.

Also attached is an updated agenda for the CMC telecon on Friday, changing primarily only the CESG presentation to line up with Nestor's draft presentation that was sent to you previously.

We look forward to the CMC telecon on Friday, March 8.  You should already have a calendar item with the time, telecon and WebEx info.  If you don't see it, let me know and I will resend it.

Thanks very much.  Best regards,

   -=- Mike

Subject: [Secretariat] List of projects with problems - for CMC telecon

Dear Mike & CMC members

CESG has assessed the list of projects with problems (i.e. Book editor, Prototype 1 / 2 developer missing) and is proposing the CMC either their approval or re-baseline. As two areas (SIS and SOIS) did not give me feedback, I have added my own assessment to their projects.

The attached file (I prefer to work out the excel spread-sheet) contains all the Projects with problems (and thanks again for having identified / classified them) including the  CESG justifications and corresponding recommendations for approval of the majority of all the documents (even when some of  these projects don't have all their resources identified).

CESG also highlighted (in red background) those projects that need a prompt CMC identification of resources.

Some projects are recommended to be left as "pending" - not approved but still in the system to be considered for approval at the next meeting /  telecon.

I assume that the CMC will discuss them on 8th March 2013 and will (if agreed) set a CMC poll to "approve projects according to the recommendations of the CESG".
