Minutes 

1. Blue Book status and way forward

Roger has made available on the Gdrive an updated Blue Book (draft F) and 
an updated Information Model (EA model draft S). For a detailed 
description of the changes, refer to the email from Roger dated 
29/11/2021.

The changes to the BB and EA model were presented by Roger. Tony asked if 
the latest XML Schemas are available. Roger will provide these on the 
Gdrive.

Some work is remaining on the EA model and the automated XML Schema 
generation, in particular with the work-around to preserve the attribute 
order in the generated schemas. Roger showed some additional capabilities 
of schema validation, e.g. with restrictions and choices. The WG confirmed 
that having more advanced XML Schema validation is considered beneficial. 
Note that this goes beyond the definitions in the Information Model. Peter 
still has some open actions regarding the XML Schemas, e.g. on the use of 
namespaces and the mapping of the MAL::List type.

It is currently planned that the MP&S Blue Book will be submitted for 
Agencies Review in Q1 2022. For this, the referenced SANA artefacts (MP&S 
namespace(s), XML Schemas and XML Service Specifications) shall be 
available in the SANA Beta Registry. The BB review will be done with 
assumptions on the (agreed) MAL evolution. These assumptions shall be 
listed in the Red Book. In case the final MAL changes are not in line with 
the assumptions made, then a second Agencies Review could be necessary. 
However, with the currently planned public review, the majority of the 
MP&S standard is stable and can be reviewed.

Publication of the MP&S Blue Book can not take place before the 
publication of the updated MAL BB, planned for end 2022. As such, the 
currently planned publication date for the MP&S Blue Book is also the end 
of 2022.

2. Prototyping status and way forward 

ESOC will resume the work on the prototyping next week. DLR have 
implemented the report generation, for ESOC to review. For the Yellow 
Book, Guillermo will provide the XML tables in the issue 2.1 of the Yellow 
Book, available on the Gdrive. Next regular prototyping meeting will be 16 
December 2021.

3. AOB 

Next MP&S WG meeting planned for Tuesday 18 January 2022, 16:00 - 18:00 
CET. Peter to send the WebEx invitation.
