I think this list is largely silent while wondering whether the ITU-R is capable of doing anything besides the non-decisions during this year. Thank you for the report on the USNO incident. My concern upon reading this is that the notice on the web page http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ntp.html looks as if it is a temporary modification which will, in short order, simply vanish from view. Behind many arguments about leap seconds are references to previous events and decisions which, upon inspection, turn out not to be mentioned in the available documentation. Among the effects of that are => in the future, sysadmins will not have access to documents which can warn about the severity of the effects and the importance of robust configurations => similarly, delegates to subsequent ITU-R meetings about the broadcast time scale will lack basis for making their decisions My question: Is there a published description of this event which will be citeable for the sake of posterity? -- 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
