<p>Dear all , </p>
<p>This a call to the authors of the ObsCore Radio Extension Note
available at </p>
<p><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/ivoa-std/ObsCoreExtensionForRadioData"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/ivoa-std/ObsCoreExtensionForRadioData</a>
(see the blue preview /pdf button at the bottom page to get the
pdf)</p>
<p>The note is stalled in the recommendation process since the last
interoperability in November 2025. </p>
<p>I think it is important to proceed for the document review in
order to get feedback for radio data , and consolidate <br>
this work.<br>
This as taken some time for many of us to summarize uses cases and
propose a simple way to expose radio data in ObsTAP using a radio
extension table.</p>
<p>I think we need this validation to proceed in the next steps of
Obscore 1.2 and stabilize the extension mechanism. <br>
The same strategy of table extensions is currently studied for
High Energy data distribution, so the advantage to expose this
work in the VO <br>
is important. </p>
<p>I suggest all authors can give it a new read by end of April and
provide comments on a radio IG recommendation page first . </p>
<p>Then the document can be sent to TCG for review by April 30, be
discussed in TCG in May so that we can have a vote before <br>
or at the interop meeting in June. <br>
</p>
<p>What is your opinion about this schedule? </p>
<p>Eager to get your comments and suggestions , <br>
Many thanks, </p>
