[SIS-CFDPV1] CFDP B6 Standard - Working Group Last Call / CCSDS Spring Meeting

[Tomaso.deCola at dlr.de]

Hi Felix,

 

Thanks for starting this. My understanding is that this book once ready will
go in agency review and in parallel implementation will start to have in
turn the yellow book for the newly inserted procedures, isn't it?

 

Regards,

 

Tomaso

Subject: CFDP B6 Standard - Working Group Last Call / CCSDS Spring Meeting

 

Dear CFDP Working Group,

 

I would like to initiate a Working Group Last Call for the CFDP B6 standard
we have discussed in the past meetings.

 

The final draft is available with and without track changes wrt to B5 in
CWE:

oc?d=w8536caec37314fa8a7e248ce89cd93ef&csf=1&web=1&e=Sl6tkf>
727x0b6_WhiteBook_March_2026_CLEAN.doc

 

The change record contains a summary of the major changes. However,
editorial changes have been applied across the document, so I would
recommend to review the version with track changes. Please note that there
are still some minor formatting issues across the document which I haven't
been able to resolve completely (this will be done later by the CCSDS Tech
Editors).

 

Please let me have any comments, concerns or specific change requests you
may have until 20 April.

 

At that time, I will gather all feedback received from the WG and determine
whether we will need a dedicated discussion. If not, I will ask Tomaso to
initiate agency review.

 

Regarding a meeting of the CFDP WG during the CCSDS Spring Technical
Meetings: I assume I will be very busy with the DTN WG meetings but I could
arrange for a CFDP WG Meeting on Thursday, 28 May, 15:30-17:30 local time
(Puerto Rico, should be19:30 - 21:30 UTC). However, I assume that not many
CFDP WG participants will travel to the CCSDS meetings, so I would prefer to
not organise a CFDP meeting during that week unless many CFDP WG members are
present and wishing to meet. Otherwise, I will just call for a remote
meeting some other time (either before the Spring Meetings if we have to
discuss the B6 Final Draft or after we got agency feedback or want to
discuss interoperability testing). So, could you please let me know (until
20 April):

 

1.	If you are interested in a CFDP WG meeting during the CCSDS Spring
Technical Meetings (Thursday, 28 May, 15:30-17:30 local time) and whether
you would be able to join in person?
2.	If you are interested in participating in the interoperability
testing of B6 (implementation is on-going at ESA)?
3.	If there are any other CFDP topics you would like to discuss?

 

Regards,

Felix
