Credit for the graphic goes to Pete Marenfeld at NOAO, a graphic artist with amazing talents. If it evokes the tension that has lasted for the past decade between the nations whose delegates have been arguing "you must abandon leap seconds in UTC" and the nations whose delegates have been responding "we won't abandon leap seconds in UTC" then it has done its job. 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. -- 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 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
