Dear IVOA members,<br>
<br>
As you may already know, the Simple Cone Search protocol has not
been<br>
updated for years. Marco is now in charge of editing this document
and has<br>
already started to collect ideas for the next versions (see <a
href="https://github.com/ivoa-std/ConeSearch/issues">GitHub Issues</a>).<br>
<br>
Some issues have already been fixed with the intention to release a
minor<br>
revision: 1.1. The idea of this version is to align it as much as
possible with<br>
UCD1+ and DALI (e.g. MAXREC, RESPONSEFORMAT). More features are of<br>
course planned for future versions (major?).<br>
<br>
Marco, Joshua and I would like to start this discussion with as many
people as possible, because this is one of the most used DAL
protocols. To find the best<br>
date for this DAL Running Meeting, please, fill the following poll:<br>
<br>

<br>
There are 3 possible dates (in early September), each with only one
time. If<br>
none of these dates and times are good for you, please let us know
by<br>
proposing an alternative in comment or by email to Joshua or myself.<br>
<br>
The final date for this meeting will be announced on the 1st of
September.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Grégory<br>
