[Sis-exec] SIS-Area Resolutions and Actions

[Durst, Robert C.]

Folks,

This action has been levied on Area directors, and in the true spirit of
stuff rolling downhill, arrives at your, the Working Group chairs',
doorsteps:

18-22 April: across your whole Area, and organized by WG and BOF, prepare an
integrated set of all of the precise Resolutions and recommended Action
Items that you propose to advance to the CESG. Send your integrated Area set
to the CESG chair. 
IMPORTANT: ONLY bring forward those items that are immediately ready for
CESG action as a result of this meeting. DO NOT bring forward items that
need more work: hold them until they are ready, and then advance them at the
appropriate time as part of normal business. For instance, if the Spring
meeting recommended that a document should be issued but you do not have a
reviewable final draft that the CESG can clearly understand, wait until it
has been through editing before sending it to the CESG as a separate
resolution. 

At this moment, I have the resolution squashing the DTN BOF.  

Dai, is the SPP Green Book edited in response to JFK's comment, has it been
coordinated with him, has the secretariat formatted it, and are we ready to
ask the CESG to publish it?  If not, when will each of these happen?

Scott, is the UCE WG ready to resolve that the CESG publish the UCE pink
sheets?  Has the secretariat done their thing?

Scott, I believe that there are no resolutions coming out of the AMS BOF
that require CESG action.  Is that correct?

Dick et al, I am assuming that there aren't any interop resolutions coming
forward.  

Note that the WG rechartering will be happening in VERY short order (say,
the next week or so), so be ready to revise your charter.  Include travel
requirements to support colocation.  For interoperability testing, assume
that you will be able to get folks to Atlanta, and will be able to spend
some days there focused on interoperability testing -- best to start to work
that with Max and whomever else right now.  Include explicitly in the
charter the travel requirements to make this happen.  This next charter is
going to be scrutinized carefully, so let's try to be as realistic as we
can.  This applies to all (remaining) working groups and BOFs, not just
interoperability testing.

Thanks,
Durst

SIS-R-0504-001 (DTN-R-0504-001)

The CCSDS Space Internetworking Services Area, in response to resolution
DTN-R-0504-001 of the Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Birds Of a Feather 
group,

Considering that:

1.	The member agencies of CCSDS have in general not yet identified 
near-term requirements for the capabilities of Delay-Tolerant Networking

And recognizing that:

1.	The technical details of DTN architecture and the communication 
protocols that implement that architecture are not yet stable enough to be 
adopted as CCSDS Recommended Standards

Resolves to dissolve this BOF group without recommending the formation of a 
DTN Working Group at this time, and

Recommends that the member agencies of CCSDS monitor and, as appropriate, 
contribute to the progress of Delay-Tolerant Networking research by 
participating in the activities of the DTN Research Group of the Internet 
Research Task Force, and

Recommends that interested parties join the dtn-interest electronic mail 
discussion list (dtn-interest at mailman.dtnrg.org, refer to 
http://www.dtnrg.org), and

Proposes that this BOF group be re-formed in 18-24 months when a suitable 
charter may be more readily drafted,

In accordance with section 1.7 of CCSDS A02.1-Y-2 dated April 2004.
