The Impact of Negative Leap Seconds: Risks and Challenges for IT Systems

[QUOTE="pbuk, post: 6823850, member: 385977"] I gather it is the earliest date that could be agreed - the Russians wanted later (it appears that they believe, mistakenly, that leap seconds give GLONASS an advantage) whereas nearly everyone else wanted it sooner, ideally now. The resolution allows for it to be sooner, it is to be agreed in 2026, so all we need to do is not have any leap seconds before then and common sense will prevail (in BIPM? I'll not place any bets). See the extract below from the published resolutions: [URL]https://www.bipm.org/documents/20126/64811223/Resolutions-2022.pdf/281f3160-fc56-3e63-dbf7-77b76500990f[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
