What we saw at ITU-R in Geneva during January emphasized that diplomacy is the art of the possible. The draft presented to the assembly http://www.itu.int/md/R07-SG07-RP-1005/en which we were told has this content http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/draftTF460-7.html proved not to be possible.
It is not clear that the linux kernel bugs will change the international responses to that draft. It is clear that the ITU-R hierarchy really wants WP7A to fix the proposal so that it can achieve consensus in time for the 2015 assembly. I suspect that the ITU-R (such as it is possible to attribute motivations to such a nebulous bureaucratic entity) would appreciate assistance that enables consensus. That is part of the hope behind the next futureofutc.org meeting set for next May in Charlottesville. Can LEAPSECS contribute ideas for a better draft revision of TF.460 ? -- Steve Allen <[email protected]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street 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
