Picking up a note from the IETF NTP Working group https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/ntpwg/2008-March/001159.html
We see that Microsoft's NTP implementation does not play well with the NTP being run by national standards labs, and David Mills suggests something a lot like proliferation of time scales: > This is quickly becoming a failed mission.

I recall Rodney King during the 1992 LA Riots: People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Proliferation is a natural aspect of human existence. Is there any way to inhibit it other than to provide a solution so well documented that everyone finds out about it in grammar school and so compellingly comprehensively correct that nobody considers making something different? By its charter the ITU-R can't do the "well documented" part, and by its structure and history it hasn't done the "comprehensively correct" part. The BIPM and IERS can. -- Steve Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 University of California Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
