Thanks. The revised text for Radio Regulation 1.14 (not to be confused with WRC-15 Agenda Item 1.14) implies that BIPM is ready to assume control over UTC, and that ITU-R may simply hand that control to the BIPM. This would not be a big surprise. BIPM has been lobbying for that, and the ITU-R bureaucrats seem to want to be rid of this decade-long standoff over UTC. The revised text for Radio Regulation 2.5 makes no sense. If the time scale is defined by SI seconds of cesium without regard to earth rotation then it is unrelated to a date defined on any meridian. -- 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
