1

Agree with SBN: the number needs to be revised to be compiant with hard media approved for deep archiving

2

Based on Annes blog, we need to set the upper limit to 255 to retain ISSO 9660. I would vote yes with that change.

3

Per Annes argument that it violates ISO 9660

4

The length requested (287 characters) violates the ISO 9660 standard.


Vote to RECOMMEND version 3 of the SCR be moved to Implementation stage.

(also requires change to “NAME” keyword.)

But I am a little worried that some of these labels/files will become unreadable if the new, longer length options are taken to extremes.
