It would be okay to pick a different date in 2024, as we will not have to step back from the "we will stop allocating GTS ABHs in 2024" position we have been pushing. 1-Jan-2024 is probably too close now in any case. The main point is to pick a date in 2024, mention it at INFCOM-3, and then stick to it. This date is really helping trigger the transition from GTS to WIS2
Decision
No new GTS headers after 31-12-2024 except for aviation data. From the same date new records in the WIS catalogue will not be accepted.
Need to check that the Transition Guide states this date.
The WIS2-to-GTS Gateway will only process existing data - i.e., bulletins that are already exchanged on the GTS. The WIS2-to-GTS Gateway (and the GTS itself) requires GTS bulletin headers (TTAAii CCCC). Previously we've said that no new GTS bulletin headers will be issued after 1-Jan-2024, but that would leave us a 12-month gap when WIS2 is pre-operational and GTS can't accept new data. I don't think this is acceptable. Recommend that we stop allocating new GTS headers on 31-Dec-2024.
