"natural interval extension": friendly amendment to M001.02

["Nedialkov, Ned" <nedialk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues, 

I would like to propose a friendly amendment to the existing motion
M001.02:
replace “natural interval extension” with “tightest interval extension”.


RATIONALE. 

1. We are all in agreement on the term “interval extension”. What we
call in 1788 “natural interval extension” is the tightest such 
extension. Then why not call the former exactly what it is, namely “tightest”.
(This is simple, descriptive, and easy to explain to non-experts.)

2. If we accept such a change in P1788.1, there is no conflict with
the use of “natural interval extension” in IEEE 1788, which will be
fixed at some point in the future.

3. A small number of changes to 1788 would be needed. 
This would involve changes on 4 pages where natural interval extension” 
occurs and 2 more where “natural extension” occurs. On one other 
page “natural extension” occurs with an informal meaning.

For a reference, I have attached the page of P1788.1 with the proposed 
changes.

Best regards,
Ned
