RFC period for Characteristion DM has finished

Dear IVOA members,

The RFC period for comments for the Characterisation Data model ended yesterday, after 5 weeks .
This Data Model took quite a long time to get mature, and has been presented in Interop meetings at
different stages.
People interested gave their comments and provided good hints all along the different development phases.

  Its scope has been divided to provide two versions of the Model:
- the current 1.11 version for data queries and all purpose data analysis

• the next version will describe more refined metadata for complex observations, sensitivity functions, resolution variations , etc...

Comments on the RFC page are not numerous but I do not want to delay the recommendation process any longer.

It is time for me to pass it to the TCG group to review the document.

Thanks ,
Mireille Louys, DM Chair
