Dear Tracy, Thank you for the invitation. I cannot participate this meeting in Malta and will inform you beforehand that I will participate the next meeting which will be held in Hamburg 12.6.-14.6. Best regards Antti Arkima Finnish Maritime Administration ________________________________ Lähettäjä: ccglrit-gcclrit-bounces(a)lists.ncf.ca [mailto:ccglrit-gcclrit-bounces@lists.ncf.ca] Puolesta Peverett, Tracy Lähetetty: 11. huhtikuuta 2007 21:16 Vastaanottaja: ccglrit-gcclrit(a)lists.ncf.ca Kopio: Lawrence Sciberras Aihe: [Ccglrit-gcclrit] Malta meeting of Ad Hoc Engineering Group Hello, Attached please find details of the LRIT meeting venue and hotel information for the upcoming meeting in Malta. REGISTRATION: Please note that the attached contains two forms, each of which is to be sent to a different contact (full contact and related details provided in the attachment): 1) A meeting registration form, to be sent to the Malta Maritime Authority, and 2) Hotel and related details and a hotel reservation booking form, to be completed and sent directly to the Corinthia Palace Hotel. VISAs: Also attached is the Malta visa application previously sent via the reflector, as a reminder to participants who may require a visa. If you have any questions regarding visas, please contact Anne Marie Sciberras (annemarie.sciberras(a)gov.mt) after April 15th, and Lawrence Sciberras (lawrence.sciberras(a)mma.gov.mt) before April 15th. MEETING SCHEDULE: The meeting will commence on Wednesday, May 9 and end Saturday, May 12 around noon. The reason for the 3.5 day duration is that Malta is kindly arranging to show participants a little more of Malta one afternoon while we are there. The intent is to start each morning at 0830hrs and finish somewhat earlier in the day around 1500 hrs. While this marks a departure from standard IMO hours it was felt that this would give participants more time at the end of the day to better enjoy May in Malta. An agenda with further details will be distributed closer to the meeting date. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to seeing you all in Malta. Regards, Tracy Tracy Peverett Senior Policy Advisor Canadian Coast Guard (613) 990-4046

Hello, Attached please find the following two documents for review and comment prior to the Malta meeting: * Revised Draft Technical Specifications for the International LRIT Data Centre * Revised Draft Technical Specifications for the International LRIT Data Exchange Still to come: * The Revised Draft Technical Specifications for Communications will be sent in a separate e-mail today * A draft agenda will be circulated tomorrow * The first draft of the Costing and Billing specification should be available early next week Logistics: A reminder that the meeting will commence on Wednesday, May 9 and end Saturday, May 12 around noon. Start time is 0830 hours. Dress is business casual. Those of you planning to attend the meeting who have not already done so are reminded to register separately for both the meeting and the hotel as per my e-mail of April 11. If you did not receive that e-mail and require further information, please contact me directly by e-mail at peverettT(a)dfo-mpo.gc.ca <mailto:peverettT@dfo-mpo.gc.ca> and I will provide. Your Feedback Required: Anyone having comments on the attached documents is invited to: * Send the comments to me directly for forwarding to the appropriate OPI (office of primary interest) * Send the comments to everyone via the reflector, or * Bring your comments to the Malta meeting Participants are also requested to indicate, in advance to me via e-mail, their preference for participation at one of the following groups in Malta: * IDC subgroup * IDE/Communications subgroup * Costing and billing subgroup While everyone's preference will be accommodated if possible, we of course need to ensure we have a good representation within each of the three groups.

Many thanks, Tracy Ref "Revised Draft Technical Specifications for Communication in the LRIT System", Table 2, "LRIT Positional Data (Position Report) Messages". The table is over-prescriptive and does not reflect what is actually available and transmitted by current ships' equipment. (1) Latitude and Longitude Latitude and Longitude are taken from the inbuilt or onboard GPS and are presented as Degrees, minutes and decimals of minutes (to 2 decimal places) e.g. 59 57.92' N, 30 14.20' E which is 59 degrees 57.92 minutes North; 30 degrees 14.20 minutes East - and perfectly adequate. To require the format to be degrees, minutes and seconds would require expensive changes to onboard equipment (2) Time Stamp 1 Date and time are similarly taken from the inbuilt or onboard GPS and are presented as Day, Month, Year, Hour, Minute e.g. 16-SEP-06 07:04 (which is self-explanatory; seconds are not transmitted) To require the format to be year, month, day, minute and seconds would require expensive changes to onboard equipment Please ensure that the LRIT ad hoc engineering group reviews these specific parameters and does not set over-prescriptive requirements that could require expensive changes to or complete replacements of shipboard equipment. We are not starting out to design new shipboard equipment, I believe, and should accept the standard reporting formats that are already provided by the existing equipment.

Malta Meeting Just to ensure that everyone has a complete package of documents for the Malta meeting, attached please find the: - Draft guidance on setting up and maintaining the LRIT Data Distribution Plan and - Draft Protocols for Development Testing of the LRIT System... The contents of both remain the same as that submitted to IMO in November 2006. Still to come is the initial draft of the costing and billing specification. OPIs for the DDP and Testing Specifications - CIRM has kindly agreed to be the office of primary interest (OPI) for the Draft Guidance on the Data Distribution Plan. Julian Longson will serve as the contact person. As previously mentioned, work on this document will take place secretarially. - We are still looking for expressions of interest from anyone wishing to put their name forward as the OPI for the Testing Specification, work on which will also take place secretarially. Anyone interested is invited to send an e-mail directly to me, or to express their interest to Sam Ryan or myself in Malta.
