Executive Summary Attendees: Roberto Maddè, ESA/ESOC, chair James Border, NASA/JPL, member (p.t. by teleconf) Hiroshi Takeuchi, Jaxa/ISAS, member Mattia Mercolino, ESA/ESOC, member Major topics: Draft Magenta Book (in Red 2 status): RIDs resolution,2nd Agency review complete Draft Blue Book, “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format”, AD Rids discussion Significant decisions: Draft Magenta Book (in Red 2 status): WG resolution to go for publication Draft Blue Book, “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format”, WG resolution to go for Agency review Start of prototyping the BB of NASA, JAXA, ESA Short and long term plan agreed Cross-area meetings With SM WG, inputs provided for the inclusion of DDOR service in SM Next cross-area meeting foreseen during 2011Springl Meeting New work: Prototyping for the Blue Book Yellow Book which will contain the results of prototyping Continuation on the Green Book Future work/documents Blue Book titled “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format” Green Book titled “Delta-DOR technical characteristics and performance” Yellow Book in support to the Blue Book above

Summary of Goals and Deliverables (1) What do you expect to deliver and when Short term schedule: Magenta Book: Go for publication Blue Book: Run first Agency review Green Book: Complete missing chapters, review existing ones Interaction with SMWG: Continuing discussion with SMWG, for inclusion of DDOR service in the Cross-support Services

Summary of Goals and Deliverables (2) 2. Long term schedule (1): Date Milestone Fall 2010 Issue of “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format” Blue Book for First Agency Review Disposition of Second Round of Agency RIDs on the “Delta-DOR recommended practice for cross support” Magenta Book Issue of “Delta-DOR recommended practice for cross support” Magenta Book December 2010 Issue of “Delta-DOR recommended practice for cross support” Magenta Book (TBD) Reception of First Round of Agency RIDs on the “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format” Blue Book Spring 2011 Disposition of First Round of Agency RIDs on the “Delta-DOR Raw Data Exchange Format” Blue Book Progress on prototyping of Agencies’ implementation of RDEF (Blue Book validation) Review of the Delta-DOR Green Book (TBD) Fall 2011 Issue of the Delta-DOR Green Book (TBD)

Summary of Goals and Deliverables (3) 2. Long term schedule (2): Date Milestone December 2011 Completion of prototyping of Agencies’ implementation of RDEF (Blue Book validation). Start of Yellow Book containing the results of the interoperability testing. Spring 2012 Review of Yellow Book containing the results of the interoperability testing. Date TBD After Yellow Book on the interoperability testing is complete, issue 2nd Agency revision of the Blue Book. Revise Magenta Book based on inputs coming from SMWG, whenever such WG is advancing on the definition of SM for tracking services. Further interoperability testing to verify system performance and improve level of accuracy. The results of such testing could lead to the revision of the Magenta and Green Books.

Progress Achieved What do you expect to accomplish: To publish the Magenta Book To go through the First Round of Agency Review on the Blue Book by Spring 2011 To have a complete draft (for all sections) of the Green Book by Spring 2011

Open Issues / Areas of concern What are the currently known open issues Presence of NASA to meetings Quasar catalogue Areas of concern Same as above

Risk Management Update Resources are always an issue Risk of delay  managed by accepting the delay itself

Cross Area WG / BOF Issues Are there issues in your WG with other WGs? No Is there cross WG or cross area coordination needed? Service Management: SMWG will extend, in the future, their SM procedures to tracking services; interaction with such WG is being put in place, to insure the proper level of coordination At what level and how would you like to proceed? Service management: embed the DDOR service in the SM framework discussions with SMWG are on going, a more focalised concept of the required SR has been provided to SM WG
