[Moims-ipr] Re: Resolutions for 5 year reaffirmations of the 5 DAI/IPR Recommendations now due

[John Garrett]

Hi Nestor,

I think NSSDC would object very strongly if SFDU were made not an ISO 
Standard or not a CCSDS anytime within at least the next 15 years.  I 
cannot see us converting all our data that is in SFDU to anything else 
including XFDU in the next few years.

We don't need to deprecate a standard even if and when we have a 
replacement. 
ASCII and HTML are still standards when we have XML.
Fortran and C are still standards when we have JAVA.
CCSDS has several different Data Link Protocols. It has several 
different compression standards. etc.

I think one sure way to start losing support for CCSDS and resources for 
its standards efforts is to start making things that projects are 
actively using not standards.   It will make it harder to get support 
for adoption of new standards and it will make it hard for any projects 
to commit resources to anything that would be viewed as a replacement 
for standards they are currently using.

Cheers,
-JOhn
