Posting of an IVOA note on a single-dish Radio Data Model

Hi everyone, and sorry for the cross-posting!

I work for the AMIGA project (<http://www.iaa.es/AMIGA.html>), and I've recently earned my Master Thesis doing data modeling for a single-dish antenna, Robledo de Chavela's DSS-63 70m radio- telescope. This work has been revised by people from our project, people from LAEFF-INTA (responsible for the antenna in Spain), from JPL-NASA, and the IRAM (Institute for Radio Astronomy in the Millimeter range).

This data model is the starting point for a future archive of spectroscopic observations for this antenna, and compiles several different IVOA data models into one coherent data model for the archive, defining many fields which were not clearly specified in the standards, and defining some of the mentioned classes for this particular case.

I would like to know a couple of things:

  1. How do I contact the DAL or DM chairmans (or both) first to publish this as an IVOA note? The reason for this would be illustrating the use of the separate data models when trying to build a new archive.
  2. Is there any standard LaTeX template for the IVOA document submissions, in the same way there are MS Word templates?

Thanks in advance!
