[LEAPSECS] IAU Support for R460-6

[Finkleman, Dave]

There is no IAU support for the proposal to eliminate the leap second.
On the other hand, there is just not consensus one way or the other.
However, perceived IAU support was cited at the SG7 meeting in Geneva.
That misconception has been corrected, as reported from credible and
trustworthy sources.  For what it's worth.

There seems to be consensus that there are problems.  As is painfully
obvious, I am a newcomer.  Therefore, I ask if there has even been a
meeting/working group/etc. to address issues with UTC as opposed to
definitions and resolutions about what UTC should or should not be?
