A notable difference between these versions and previous ones is
that the CGPM's UTC shall be interpreted by the Secretary of the Navy
as well as NIST.
So the final determination of the policy issue (yea or nay on leap
seconds) shall be whether the US military industrial complex believes
there are more risks in continuing leap seconds (tested over 35 years)
or in a boundless DUT1 (never tested, heretofore negligible for many
applications).
No, I expect that means that Ken Johnston of the US Naval Observatory
will make the call. Or more precisely Dennis McCarthy.
