Observation Locator Table Access Protocol (ObsLocTAP) will start next 
Monday for 6 weeks.

RFC/TCG Review Period: 2020-10-19 - 2020-11-27

ObsLocTAP allows the discovery of planned observations for 
observatories, helping on the
planning of new observations, follow-up of targets of opportunity, 
definition of coordinated
observations and it is considered an important element for the evolution 
of Multi-Messenger
transient observations.

This protocol has been defined by the collaboration of the Data Model 
and Data Access Layer
groups and the participation of a significant number of members from 
astronomical observatories.

Best Regards,
Jesus and Laurent (DM vicechair and chair)
Marco and James (DAL chair and vicechair)
