[Css-csts] [CESG] Resolution CSS-R-2018-11-001

Tue Nov 27 17:28:08 UTC 2018

Dear Margherita,

The draft project already exists (it was created on October 23rd) and can be found here:  http://cwe.ccsds.org/fm/Lists/Projects/DispFormDraft.aspx?ID=667&Source=http://cwe.ccsds.org/fm/Lists/Projects/AllOpenChartersWithDraftProjects.aspx

The new project requires no resources as the work is already done.   Per the description in the draft project: “Updates needed to the CSTS Specification Framework (SFW) for supporting Forward Frame CSTS. This is a pink sheet/pink book update project. Per 2018 Spring Meetings and as noted during CESG report to CMC, prototyping for frame work updates will be covered by FF-CSTS prototyping.” The milestones are for the usual CCSDS review and publication cycles.

The Org and Procs books does not require a concept paper.   Here is what it says (“should”, not “shall”)

“…6.1.3.3.5 Concept papers defining new projects should be submitted to the AD as part of the project approval process and should be included with the materials provided during CMC polling…”

The CMC has been briefed on this as reported at the Spring 2018 meetings and also at the Fall 2018 meetings.  (Please see discussion about utilizing the FF-CSTS prototype to support prototyping the modifications need in the CSTS SFW – especially in the Spring 2018 presentation to CMC).

Granted, this is technically a new project, but not conceptually.  I did not and do not think that updates to support FF-CSTS merit a concept paper as this is not defining any new concept, but rather technical adjustments to allow support for the behavior required for FF-CSTS. Therefore, assuming I have some discretion as an AD, my choice is not require this additional effort.  If you wish, I shall ask the working group chair to prepare a concept paper to submit to me so that I may review it per the Org and Procs as indicated above.   Please be advised that in the end it is CMC that approves projects, not CESG – as such I do not want to presume that CMC really want to read a concept paper.  I think a more productive course of action will be to ensure that currently in progress CSTS concept book has whatever minor sentence or two is needed.     Please advise if you still wish to have a concept paper.

Best regards,
-Erik

Dear Erik,
you should  first create your draft project in the CWE Framework. The Project shall, between others, identify the resources required for the project -  in your case, the resources have already done the editing work. The dates for the various milestones shall be put very close to each other  for the part of the work that has already been done. Once completed the editing work, the Book will be submitted to Agency Review  (I assume this will be the Blue Book 2.). The relevant dates shall also be entered in the draft project.
Also, you should determine if the new project requires resources for prototyping - depending on the kind of changes, it may be required to do delta-prototyping

Once the draft project has been created, it will  be submitted to poll for CMC approval ( not CESG).

Notice that every new project shall be be complemented by a "Concept Paper", as prescribed in  the Org & Proc book, (https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/A02x1y4c2.pdf<https://public.ccsds.org/Pubs/A02x1y4c2.pdf>)
This shall be a concise piece of  text, to outline the nature of the changes. Also, it shall  explain if, depending on the envisaged changes, prototyping is - or is not - required.

In your resolution for CMC approval, please  provide :
- the link to the draft project
- the Concept Paper,  to make it available to the CMC to support their decision.

Kind regards,
Margherita

________________________________

 CCSDS Secretariat, CESG Chairs,

Attached and also listed below please find the resolution for the creation of a formal project for update of the CSTS Specification Framework.  Note that this is essentially a formality as the work to complete the updates for the CSTS Framework has already been completed.

Best regards,

-Erik

CSS-R-2018-11-001, Resolution concerning project creation for update of Cross Support Transfer Service – Specification Framework

The CSS Area,

CONSIDERING that the CROSS SUPPORT TRANSFER SERVICE – SPECIFICATION FRAMEWORK, CCSDS 921.1-B-1, (“the recommendation”) is a published recommended standard of CCSDS;

and RECOGNIZING that the recommendation is the basis for Cross Support Transfer Services and therefore must be revised as new required service capabilities are identified;

and RECOGNIZING that the CSTS WG has completed revisions for the recommendation to support new service capabilities identified for the Forward Frame Cross Support Transfer Service;

and NOTING that, per the formal procedures of CCSDS that a project for updating the recommendation is needed;

RESOLVES to create the formal project for update of the recommendation;

and REQUESTS that the CCSDS Secretariat initiate polling for project creation.

[End Resolution]
