Then you reject Recommendation CCTF 6 (2012): http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/CCTF19.pdfIn the meeting report of the CIPM of 2012, online at [http://www.bipm.org/utils/en/pdf/CIPM2012-EN.pdf], these recommendations apparently are taken with a grain of salt, after "comprehensive discussion". On [page 60] we read: "It was further noted that the CIPM must respond to the ITU although it was not necessary to agree to Recommendation CCTF 6 (2012)." Recommendation CCTF 6 (2012) was not accepted by the CIPM, but it was taken note of. Nevertheless, the CIPM noted several "points" that also may be contentious, such as: "The ITU requires clear advice on how to build a continuous time scale." -- as if the ITU had ever "built" a time scale.
