[IGS-DCWG-121] IGS XML Discussion update

[Fran Boler]

Dear Colleagues-

I have assembled some notes within Google Docs from the teleconference 
the took place on 9 July. Thanks to all who were able to participate. 
Please edit or add to these notes as needed:

If you wish, you may listen/watch the recorded WebEx, though I confess I 
neglected to hit the record button until half way through. (Note: You 
will need WebEx capability on your system to view the recording; 
following the link will guide you in this. If the viewer doesn't start 
up the first time give it a few tries.)

With the Rephrased Question 1 Ballot and the two telecons completed, we 
now have large areas of basic agreement. A most important outcome is the 
agreement to adopt GeodesyML, with its Site Log XML Application Schema 
as our initial focus to advance this effort.

I have made a new Results document based on the original ballot with a 
few commented updates to the wording and highlighting the areas of 
agreement. You can see it here and add comments if you wish:

As things stand, there are just a few questions that still need further 
discussion as shown on the Results document. A couple of these will 
benefit by input from the IGS Antenna Working Group, so one of the next 
steps will be to engage with them. For the others, we will try to use 
the upcoming GGOS Metadata Workshop on August 10-11 in Boulder to have 
additional discussions and to put together a plan for continuing our 
progress.

Look for another update after the August workshop.

Once again, thanks to all for your participation in this effort.

Best regards,
Fran
