[CMC] RE: Some issues when creating new Projects

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

Nestor:  I believe the "Request CMC Poll" was not checked.  In that case an alert goes to the Secretariat to set up a poll, but that was not the subject of the message received by Jean-Marc.

Whenever an agency is added to a project, the agency gets an alert right away (not waiting for a CMC poll) because the CMC members want to know immediately when a WG chair wants resources from their agency.  We do not want to wait for a CMC poll to find that out.  The agencies want to be in on the beginning of the resource negotiation process.

In the ideal case, the CMC member should already know that his agency representatives in the WGs are committing his resources to new work.  This is a safety measure to insure that he is told about the usage of his agency resources one way or another, and as soon as possible.


Ø  How can a Project be crated without an approved updated charter ?
The basic idea of creating projects that are separate from charters is so that the charter doesn't have to go to a poll every time a project (that is already within scope of the charter) is created.  If a charter says we have scope over "all types of file transfer", and a project is added that is a "specific type of file transfer" then the WG should be able to add that file transfer project without necessarily having the charter text changed.  The CMC has already approved the scope of the work for the WG, but with the project approval is finally approving the viability of the project considering resources.


Ø  Did CESG approve the Project ?
No, the alert for the WG's *planned* usage of agency resources goes to (only) affected CMC members well before the project approval stage.

So, the CMC members should only have doubts when receiving a message like this if they are surprised that the WG plans on resources from their agency.  And we want them to be able to address that with the WG chair well before the project comes to a poll.

Does that make sense?

Mike

I am dealing within MOIMS with a new Project added in the DAI WG.for a MB (Data Preservation Process)

The Project was created and the box Request CMC Poll [ ]was ticked.(I assume)

Therefore an alert was sent to (I believe) the candidate Agency (CNES in this case) . See below the mail received by JM Soula

but,

The DAI charter needs first to be modified and it shall go through CESG / CMC Poll (together with the new Project)

We need to discuss this, The way in which is done does not look like robust

and it poses a lot of doubts on the CMC representatives addressed by the mail

i.e.

How can a Project be crated without an approved updated charter ?
Did CESG approve the Project ?

ciao

============================
CMC delegate:  This is an automatic alert.  Do not reply.  If you have questions about this process, contact the Secretariat at Secretariat at mailman.ccsds.org<mailto:Secretariat at mailman.ccsds.org>.

Resource data has been entered by a Working Group chair (or their representative) that indicates that your agency will provide Book Editor resources for a CCSDS document project.  This WG Chair should contact you to discuss this, if they have not already.  If you are not contacted directly, you can contact them to get background information on why this has occurred.

The project is:  Data Preservation Process
The working group is: 23;#2.01 Data Archive Ingestion Working Group

You can see the makeup of the planned support for this project, including the support from your agency, by visiting the Resources view of the Project Framework and clicking on that document name.

Visit http://cwe.ccsds.org/fm/Lists/Projects/Resources.aspx.

If you take no action, the document project will move forward with your allocated agency's resources.  If the project is a new one,  then the document project will probably be approved in a CMC poll, assuming that your agency agrees to provide support to this effort.

Best Regards,
   Your Automated CCSDS Management Framework
