Dear Mr.Mike Dixon,

Thank you for accepting my proposal. 
I will be happy to provide any clarification or input in this regard
during the course of implementation.

I confirm the intent of the sub-convention spelled out by you.

Regards
S B Thampi

YYV-457201]: CF/Radial data model need for sub-convention on

Dear Mr Thampi

Thank you for your email, and I apologize for the long delay in responding.

I agree with your suggestion - we will discuss your proposed addition and
decide how best to include this.

Just to confirm the intent - this extra meta-data would cover information
on how the data fields have been censored/filtered using criteria such as
SNR limits, CSI limits etc. Is that correct?

Thank you

Kind regards

Mike Dixon
