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.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm sensitive (really) to the concerns expressed in the title of this talk:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"> </span></font></span>Why leap seconds are difficult to get right for an equipment vendor – Sam Stein, Symmetricom, Inc.</span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;">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.</span></font></div><div><br></div><div>Rob</div><div><br></div></body></html>
