The CSP identified a class of uses cases involving radio data cubes as 
the next big important topic to work on. They (correctly) did not 
identify SIAv2 as the solution. The technical solution to satisfy the 
use cases is something to be discussed within the DAL-WG and the TCG.

There was some discussion of the ideas from the (now old) SIAv2 draft in 
the context of understanding what was part of DataLink and what was part 
of another level/layer of "data access". We did come away with a firm 
idea of what was part of DataLink and some groups are in the process of 
prototyping those ideas. We did not  reach any consensus on the whole 
"data access" part of the problem/solution.

Note: I personally was not party to any "private" discussions so cannot 
speak about them; by virtue of being private they also do not represent 
any kind of DAL-WG consensus.

This is the first I have heard about this (which is fine: people should 
feel free to prototype ideas and then tell everyone in the community 
about the experience and results).
