At the last ILRS Data Formats and Procedures Working
Group Meeting held in Florence, Italy, we discussed the
Site Occupation Designator (SOD) and Directory
Of MERIT Sites (DOMES) Procedures. Both of these
procedures are now on-line at can be found
at http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/sod.html and
http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/domes_and_domex.html ,
respectively.

So as a reminder, if you are developing a new system
(e.g. SLR2000 prototype) or if you are moving an existing
system to a new location (e.g., MLRO), you need to do the
following:

1. Request a SOD from Carey Noll at the CDDIS.
2. And if your station is occupying a new monument that has not been
   previously occupied, then you need to request a DOMES number
   from the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS).
