Gabor.
This draft represents the merger of two submitted proposals, one from
Das/Gabor from Telcordia and one from Peter/Don from SBI prior to the last
meeting.
These individuals have worked to create a single proposal for this
upcoming meeting. This attempt at a merger was a request from the last
meeting and was acted upon so I do not understand why you think there has
been no discussion.
I do not agree with your assertion that the data model needs more work.
For example your assumption that an iCalander element is needed. You
assume that a 24 hour channel map is provided. There is no reason to
require this. In fact there is ongoing discussion in the US to migrating
to much shorter channel allocations and it is reasonable to have a channel
map that is valid for a duration until such time as something changes. In
other words the DB provides a channel map that is valid from now until
some time in the future, which may be much less than 24 hours.
