Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your support for the proposed standard name.

I'm new to this process. I appreciate more time needs to be given to allow 
others to comment but I was wondering if there is anything else I need to do 
i.e. assuming there are no objections raised via the mailing list will the 
Standard Names Committee pick this up automatically and add it to the next 
release?

Regards,

Dan

That seems fine to me. Thanks for your efforts to convert to CF.

Cheers

Jonathan
