l needs that frequency smoothing goal.
If the goal is the closest accuracy to instantaneous earth rotation
then UT1 makes sense. That would be desirable if the intended use is
as direct input to navigation or pointing, but I can't point to any
existing system that can use such an input.

stead UT2.
UT2 was the standard in the CCIR recommendations for radio broadcasts

document) specifically because it was smoother than UT1 over the
course of a year.

Our hope for the meeting is to get beyond the standoff and contribute
solid technical details about what should be behind those arguments,
what is possible, what is needed to resolve the situation.

the end of this
week. We invite contributions which address the issues described in
the Call for Papers at the website.
Folks on the time-nuts list know how time gets into operational
systems. We would be glad to see some of that expertise at the
meeting.
