[cssm] Service management levels

[Barkley, Erik J (US 3970)]

CSSM Colleagues,

Thinking a bit more about the different service management levels, it occurs to me that maybe we don't want to call the most essential CCSDS interoperability service management specifications "level 0", but really rather "level 1" (level one). It occurs to me that our various organizations already have service management implementations and in fact really level 0 (level zero) could be used as reference to current inter-operations whereby interoperability is  bilaterally negotiated. I guess it is a question of whether or not we want to draw this contrast. If we do then perhaps calling current implementations level -1 (i.e. level negative/minus one) is not such a good idea.  And I think at some point we will probably need to make such a contrast. I realize this is essentially just semantics, and not anything that really affects what we are working toward with the best practices, but I think it is a consideration in how to present this to the various implementing organizations.  Any thoughts on this?

Best regards,
-Erik
