Chapter 4. NISP and Configuration Management Process
53. The NISP has to be periodically updated to account for enhancements in technology. Updates to the NISP are handled through Requests For Change Proposal (RFCP). RFCPs are usually reviewed at regularly scheduled NOSWG meetings. RFCPs deemed urgent are handled in an expedited manner, outside the normal meeting schedule of the NOSWG with a reply to the RFCP originator within two weeks.
54. The six volume paper version of the NISP will be submitted to the NC3 Board by 15 December of each year. The paper version is a snapshot in time of the status of standards and profiles. The NISP database of standards and profiles is the definitive source of the currents status of standards and profiles. The database will be updated as soon as the RFCP has been approved by the appropriate authority (NC3 Board).
4.1. NISP Update Process
55. Updating of the NISP and its associated database will be conducted by a managed, rolling review process which will take into account information on standards available from a wide variety of sources. The NOSWG acts as the hub for this maintenance activity, supported by the NHQC3Staff and NC3A personnel as required. The information updating process is based on Requests For Change Proposal (RFCPs).
