[IGSSTATION-7670] Dual Rinex station data files

Dear IGS members,

 From the IGS NC and IC we acknowledge that many stakeholders and users 
in the IGS+ community have adapted their tools to process station Rinex 
3 data files preferentially. This is as was intended in the Rinex 3 
transition plan as part of the move of the IGS to a truly multi-GNSS 
service. On the other hand we have to recognize that Rinex 2 files 
remain important and some users have expressed concern at the 
disappearance of Rinex 2 from important historical stations.

As a data provider could you please continue submitting dual Rinex 
3/Rinex2 data files, if this has been your practice in the recent past, 
for as long as possible or until the end of 2019. The choice to continue 
to submit dual Rinex files is up to each station data provider but we 
request that you are sensitive to the IGS community since some 
components have not completed the transition to dual Rinex3/Rinex2 
processing yet. Thanks.

We would like from the IGS to also ask that Rinex 3 and Rinex 2 files 
are created from the receiver raw tracking files and not converted 
between them. Thanks.

Please contact us for any questions or issues.

Sincerely,

I. Romero, Infrastructure Committee Chair
D. Maggert, Network Coordinator
