colleagues, <br>
<br>
As discussed during the Semantics session in Shanghai, Mireille
and I have been working on a new version (V2.0) of the UCD List
Maintenance Standard. The basis discussed in Shanghai is to take
advantage of the newly introduced IVOA Endorsed Note process (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.ivoa.net/documents/DocStd/20170517">http://www.ivoa.net/documents/DocStd/20170517</a>)
to facilitate the updates of the UCD vocabulary. It is proposed to
deprecate the UCD list from Recommendation to Endorsed Notes,
which can be updated to the next version by TCG agreement instead
of going through the whole standardisation process. The Shanghai
session participants insisted on the need that the updates are
made as quickly as possible, and the new process allows to do that
while keeping a formal procedure and cross-WG check. Please note
that Endorsed Notes, like Recommendations, are published in the
ADS, which ensures their visibility. <br>
<br>
I posted the draft UCD List Maintenance Note V2.0 implementing
this new process on the Semantics page, together with a version in
track change mode from the current V1.20, to initiate the
discussion "in WG". The documents are here: <br>

<br>
Your comments are very welcome. Mireille and I would like to be
able to proceed as swiftly as possible, so we invite you to
provide your comments by 23 June so that we can deal with them
before the Northern hemisphere vacation period. <br>
<br>
Cheers <br>
