This year's Y2K: 'Leap second' threatens to break the Internet

In that article is a link to a recent version of the Draft CPM
document with the options that are being wordsmithed before
the final tweak gets presented to the WRC in November

At the moment it still has options A, B, and C.
They don't appear to have been looking very hard at the issue.
What happened to the option of going to UTC being defined as UT1 to
some agreed precision. I wonder what WP7A have been doing for the last 2
years. They might have even concluded that messing with time was
something that the worlds populations might be interested in and open up
a public forum. It is not as though the current recommendation has run
into a wall.
There is also a similarly recent writeup from the ITU-R itself at
https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/Documents/ITU-R-FAQ-UTC.pdf [3]
which gives a deeper story about the lack of vote in 2012
to ensure that all the technical options have been fully addressed
in further studies related to the issue. It was necessary because
the decision was not only of a technical nature but had some
regulatory and legal consequences.
