MPS Blue Book status


  *   The MPS Blue Book is now in the CESG poll, next will be the CMC poll, followed by publication on the CCSDS website
  *   The WG has the option to make (editorial) modifications both after CESG and CMC polls
  *   Peter has compiled a list with editorials and (minor) inconsistencies
  *   The list can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TsOEHg1wXxZKO9uxjAiltd4eoRXHC8F3
  *   The list was discussed and agreed with the WG
  *   The WG is invited to review the document and send any issues found to Peter (until the CMC poll ends)
  *   Peter to compile a shortlist with precise editorial changes, to be send to the CCSDS Editor
  *   A small issue was spotted in one of the Information Model tables, probably introduced during the editing process
  *   It is suggested to regenerate the MPS Service Specification (using the Word macros) and check for any changes
  *   Due to these changes, also the XSD Schemas shall be regenerated, and the File Format tests shall be rerun
  *   There is no immediate need for an update of the MPS Services prototype
  *   However, for the sake of long-term maintenance, the Services prototype shall be updated accordingly
  *   Coordination with the SM&C WG will take place during the Spring Meetings, to discuss a common way forward

Magenta Book section 4 (Use Cases) hands-on


  *   Working document can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1vf9Hf4y3laI0A7_e0FtGFB9KOiwUF09F
  *   Guillermo provided a second iteration of the complete set of use cases with sub-cases, using the new format
  *   A walkthrough of the use cases was performed by Guillermo with the WG
  *   Peter should provide these use cases in the new format in the MB section 4, for review by the WG
  *   To be further discussed during the next WG meeting

AOB
