      BNSC: I believe that the resolution, as worded, does 
not accurately reflect the situation that exists and I 
propose a revised wording of the resolution.

The CMC,

CONSIDERING that the Space On-board Interface 
Services(SOIS) Area Director has determined that there is 
no currently identified need for immediate development of 
transport and network layers for spacecraft onboard 
interface services,

and NOTING that off-the-self (IP and CCSDS) transport and 
network protocols are available if transport and network 
layers capabilities are required,

and ACKNOWLEDGING that the SOIS Area Director has 
requested to terminate the Working Group,

and NOTING that the resources, extensive work and 
documentation (three draft books) of TCONS will be 
redirected to the Sub-Network Services and Onboard 
Applications Working Groups,

AUTHORIZES the termination of the Time Critical Onboard 
Network Services (TCONS) Working Group.

      BNSC: Is it permissible for the Blue Book to be 
published while the prototyping work is still going on? 
The schedule implies this will be the case.
      DLR: It is not realistic to have a red book out in 
November and the review processed finished with an blue 
book in the next March. Please revise the planning dates.

CMC E-Poll Identifier: CMC-P-2006-07-006: Authorization to 
Update to the Time Critical Onboard Application Services 
(TCOAS) Working Group Charter

Results of CMC poll beginning 26 July 2006 and ending 25

                ADOPT: 5 (71.43%) (ASI, CNES, INPE, JAXA,

      BNSC: A similar point to Martin's. Why are there 
several Red Books, culminating in one Blue Book? This may 
be the most efficient way to proceed, but it should be 
made clear what the connection between the red and blue 
books will be.
      DLR: Is the TCOAS blue book including the previous 
issued red books?
there are different Red Books scheduled to be published 
for June 2006. Are these books out for review?
