As of under a year ago the ITU-R has put many recommendations online, but not all. The earliest TF.460 is revision -4, and that was well after most of the text had been discussed and approved. Many more details are only available in the full proceedings of each meeting. Those consume about 12 shelf-inches for each assembly, many libraries only have partial sets, and their organization is sufficiently haphazard that no librarian can resonably index them, so it's necessary to procure all volumes to get the whole picture. These include the names, discussions, questions asked and answered, and amendments made to the working documents by each Plenary Assembly during the process of approving new or changed recommendations. Some of those names from long ago are still evident in the recent meetings on UTC. -- Steve Allen <s...@ucolick.org> 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 LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
