[CMC E-Poll Alert] Editorial change to recently approved document

[CCSDS Editor]

Dear CMC Members:

Concerning CMC-R-2006-07-002 (see below):

CESG review of CCSDS 732.0-P-1.3, AOS Space Data Link Protocol (Pink 
Book, Issue 1.3, September 2005) revealed an inconsistency in 
terminology:  the identification of a bit field (Virtual Channel 
Frame Count Cycle) as "optional" in the Pink Sheets was thought to be 
incorrect, since those bits must exist in the frame header regardless 
of whether they are used.  Therefore in the Blue Book version 
prepared for release, the Virtual Channel Frame Count Cycle bit field 
is identified as mandatory rather than optional.  This change was 
made after consultation with users of the protocol, and it is 
considered by the CCSDS editor as well as the Working Group chair to 
be an editorial correction.  The attached PDF file shows the change in context.

Best regards,
Tom Gannett
