It's impressive that civil GPS discussions reach back through so many  
meetings.  Any idea when the 1st CGSIC meeting was held?  The last  
five such meetings have been annual, but I'm not having much luck  
clicking through the site for earlier info.  GPS as a project dates  
back to the mid-70's, right?  With completion in the early 90's?   
Presumably they met more frequently early on, but that still seems  
like a lot of meetings (for just the civil sub-community) to squeeze in.

I'm sensitive (really) to the concerns expressed in the title of this  
talk:

	Why leap seconds are difficult to get right for an equipment vendor –  
Sam Stein, Symmetricom, Inc.

but the system engineering question here is backwards.  First,  
discover the requirements.  Second, figure out how to meet them.  That  
said, I hope the presentations will be posted online.
