Rebranding

[Matthew Graham]

Hi,

It's an interest group because one of the main use cases is as a liaison to the time domain community. However, like the Theory IG, if there are specific standards that need to be developed that are outside the scope of an existing WG, it can be done within the scope of this group. Most standards, though, e.g., time series data model, would be developed in combination with the relevant IVOA WG with the TDIG providing the domain knowledge.

No implication for TCG involvement other than it only becomes optional for RFC participation.

Only: May 13-17, 2013 Heidelberg

	Cheers,

	Matthew

John and I are the interim vice-chair and chair respectively of this group until the May Interop (when a change of chair was planned anyhow). A new charter for this group is in the process of being written but the intent is recognize the wider community than just transient event notification.
