Absolutely, Chris, you will be most welcome.  Right now our posted Agenda says we'll be spending our scheduled two days of meetings resolving RIDs, but at this point I am hopeful that we won't need anywhere near that much time: there are only 32 of them, and many are editorial.  Can we tentatively plan to talk about the Green Book on Tuesday the 27th?  Almost certainly the afternoon will be free, and possibly the morning as well.

Scot

Scott, I wonder if we could include the SOIS implementation of AMS in the
discussion on interoperability testing. I know we only have a flight
implementation which is intended to only run within the confines of the DHS
but maybe there is a possibility for a tie up, if so we could join the
discussion,

This is great, guys.  Let’s discuss at the WG meetings and decide how close
we are to being ready to publish.

One other point to talk about: at the NDSWG telecom there was some talk about
moving the AMS interoperability test plan and results into a separate Yellow
Book.  I would hope that wouldn’t take an awful lot of work, but let’s
consider it in Noordwijk.

Tim,

I cleaned up those remaining figures and uploaded the new version to the CWE.

Let me know if there’s anything else to be added or updated.

Thanks,

Hi David,

Good job.  This looks much better.    A few of the figures within chapter 6
do not appear to have been cleaned up (6.1A, 6.1B, 6.10).   If we decide to
keep the in-line drawings, I’d suggest that we at least clean up figure 6.10
(the in-line version is missing some important explanatory text).

Thanks!
Tim

All,

I uploaded a new version of the Green Book to the CWE at
http://cwe.ccsds.org/sis/docs/SIS-AMS/Draft%20Documents/Green%20Book/Green%20Book%20Draft%202009_09_17A.doc
  (FYI: To view past  versions of a document, you can click “history” from
the dropdown box).

I cleaned up the in-line images for Chapter 6 (RAMS).  Apparently using
“paste special” and selecting JPG or PNG provides a cleaner method of pasting
powerpoint or visio documents, particularly within Office 2007.  In this
version, the images are still scaled, but the arrows and text are not
modified from the original.  As a supplement, I’ve also added an Appendix at
the end containing full-size versions of figures from chapters 5+6 – both
chapters use figures that can benefit from a full-page view.   If we decide
to use this Appendix, I will clean it up further to ensure the numbering and
image sizes are more consistent between each of the figures.

I’ll leave it to the group to decide whether to delete the in-line images,
omit the Appendix, or include both with a note at the beginning of each
chapter referencing the availability of alternative full-sized images in the
Appendix for the reader’s convenience.

Dear Working Group,

I attempted to clean up the figures in chapter 6 of the AMS Green Book
(chapter 6 covers Remote AMS), but ran into problems.   The original figures
were moved in-line with the text (which is good) but were reduced in size,
and locations of some of the arrows in the figures were changed.  In my
opinion, the figures are no longer intuitive (which was the main purpose of
using figures).  Anyway, after unsuccessfully trying to clean up the figures,
I gave up and talked with Scott Burleigh.  We decided to push for restoring
the full-sized figures and putting them in a section dedicated to figures
(perhaps an appendix or the beginning of chapter 6 or the end of chapter 6).

(The unsuccessful attempts to clean up the figures are on my local hard
drive; the version of the AMS Green Book that is on the CWE retains the
non-intuitive figures; the change that Scott and I are suggesting has not yet
been made)

Best regards,
Tim_______________________________________________
