     We have discussed in MOIMS the issue of reaffirmation during a shorter
     time, but nobody could tell us if this is addressed in the Procedures.

Nestor: the current (Spring 2003) Procedures Manual can be accessed at:
http://www.ccsds.org/docu/dscgi/ds.py/View/Collection-371

The re-affirmation procedures are in Section 6.1.4, pages 6-4/5. The procedures
say that the CESG must reconfirm a document but they do *not* say that the
reconfirmation has to be for a 5-year period. In fact, a precedent for six-month
and one-year reaffirmations has been established in the past (several P2 books
and the AOS Blue Books had such re-affirmations).

In this case, as I noted on Friday, I would strongly urge that the MOIMS Area
should seek a re-affirmation period that only covers the time necessary to
thoroughly review the documents in light of current requirements and technology.
A one-year extension (maximum) would seem appropriate.

Best regards
Adrian
