DAI20240227 after many weeks of discussion decided to reject this suggestion
because the terms Persistent Identifiers  and Unique Persistent Identifiers
are each used only once. The term "unique identifier" is used several times,
but never capitalised, and is used in a rather informal way. Because of this
OAIS is not a good place to define these terms.

However we should remove the capitalisation for Persistent Identifiers  and
Unique Persistent Identifiers.

DAI20240227 agreed to reject this suggestion because we currently use
preservation plan(s) about 20 times in this document and it seems to be used
in a generic sense that is more generic than any specific document.
 
We noted we have hierarchy of document definitions in ISO 16363
"Preservation Policy"
"Preservation Strategic Plan" and 
"Preservation Implementation Plan".
 
It seems more needed and appropriate to differentiate these documents there.

DAI20240227 agreed, after much discussion, to reject this proposal. However
the capitalisation of "Unique AIP Identifiers" and similar terms should be
remove where possible.

DAI20240227 agreed to reject this suggestion because Section 2.4
Preservation Objectives is devoted to this topic.

We agreed to leave this open for a few more days in order to gather more
views.

DAI20240227 agreed with

FROM:

It is essential for an OAIS to have documented policies and procedures for
preserving its AIPs, and it should follow those procedures. In particular,
AIPs shall never be deleted unless the deletions are allowed as part of an
approved policy; there should be no ad-hoc deletions. A deletion policy
should gather information about the deletion (i.e., what, why, who).

TO

It is essential for an OAIS to have documented policies and procedures for
preserving its AIPs, and it should follow those procedures, capturing an
audit trail showing the actions regarding the AIPs. In particular, AIPs
shall never be deleted unless the deletions are allowed as part of an
approved policy.

7.	http://review.oais.info/show_bug.cgi?id=386

DAI20240227 decided to reject this suggestion because the standard is widely
known across many domains beyond that of space. This shows that the name
does not cause confusion. On a practical level, removing "Space Data System
Practices" would run counter to CCSDS procedures.
