# Title
Dead links to GRIB tables at end of section 3.3
# Moderator
None at the moment.
# Requirement Summary
The Conventions document should not contain dead links.
# Technical Proposal Summary
Either the dead links should be updated or removed. 
# Benefits
This will benefit all readers of this section of the document. 
# Status Quo
The conventions document will contain dead links. 
# Detailed Proposal
At the minimum the three dead links at the end of Section 3.3 should be updated 
to current web pages, or or links to non-existing web pages should be removed 
and the text edited to reflect the change. 

However, with recent years' extensive  additions to the standard name table the 
overlap between CF standard names and GRIB parameter tables may have weakened 
substantially. Thus it may be relevant to discuss whether the two lines 
> Here are lists of equivalences between the CF nstandard names and the 
> standard names from the ECMWF GRIB tables, the NCEP GRIB tables, and the 
> PCMDI tables.

instead should be removed irrespective of whether there are up-to-date web 
pages to link to. In this case this issues should probably be relabeled as an 
enhancement.
