## Help Needed



I have read Olivier Dubuisson's ASN.1 book, and he briefly discusses Lightweight Encoding Rules (LWER). I cannot find any documentation of these encoding rules ever existing other than this book, and unfortunately, the book does not even specify where the LWER were specified. If anybody can point me to where I can find the Lightweight Encoding Rules specification, I would greatly appreciate it.



It would also be very helpful if somebody can point out where I can find the official ASN.1 specifications for the Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Space Link Extension Services (SLE) protocols.



Also, this is not "my" list. This is "our" list. Feel free to submit a pull request (or even just an issue if that is more convenient for you) if you have something you think is worthy of inclusion in this list. Cheers!
