We would like to restructure it.
Namespace Allocation
Jens reviewed the recent discussion from the Namespace Allocation
Top level namespaces are given to the Allocating Agents, or others can apply (with a one month period for discussion).
If a top level namespace is not used for a year, then it goes back into the pool, but they can reapply.
See relevant links above.
Kerstin: does this process need to be endorsed by the membership? It's not part of the bylaws, but is a procedural guideline. Jens: Legally it should be fine, but we could put it up for vote by the members.
Update on the IGSN mobile app
Marshall: The mobile app is being developed and is quite stable now. The allocation of the namespace is part of the app - but make sure to align it with the current namespace allocation. Kerstin: At the moment - the app is specific to the SESAR system. We should also think about how to build it more generally so that other allocating agents can also use it.
Actions
