Subject: Action item resulting from
discussion of ResE logistics in 1588 call
Michael,
The question of the logistics for bringing ResE
related timing/synch work to 1588 was discussed in the 1588 call today (under
new business). It was felt that, before deciding the details of which
subcommittee the work should be discussed in and how the work should be
submitted, a clearer understanding is needed of what the work is. We
need to be more precise in (1) what aspects of 1588 we can simply reference
and use, (2) what aspects of 1588 make it non-usable for ResE, and (3) what
aspects could be used with modifications. We have indicated we will use
the existing 1588 and leverage the new version to the fullest extent possible;
we need to be more precise on this.
It was asked that we prepare a VG
presentation (approx 1/2 hour in length) for an upcoming 1588 call
(the calls are the first and third Thursdays of each month, so the next calls
are December 15 and January 5).
The reason a VG presentation is needed
is that there is an existing 1588 PAR for the new version. Work can
not simply be added to the PAR; it needs to be understood to what extent the
ResE timing/synch work fits in the existing PAR and to what extent a new PAR
would be needed. It also needs to be understood to what extent the work
would have impact on existing 1588 applications. The VG
presentation should address items (1) - (3) above; it seems to me it would
also be useful to list the items needed for timing/synch that are not
currently in 1588 at all. It seems to me it would be ideal to try
to have this by the December 15 1588 call if possible (that allows 2 ResE
calls for discussion - 12/7 and 12/14).
Best regards,
Geoff

To the above, I would add that items we need that
are not currently in 1588 should also be
