Thanks go to Dr. Matsakis for indicating one of the best reservoirs
of non-proprietary documents regarding the leapseconds process.
The current one mentioned above should be useful, but there are older
documents:

http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/summaryrpts/37thmeeting/McCarthy.ppt
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/summaryrpts/38thmeeting/Beard.ppt
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/summaryrpts/39thmeeting/Beard-apr19.ppt

These are extremely relevant for convincing folks who do not subscribe
to LEAPSECS (e.g. managers of funds who will need to disburse if a
change happens) that something is happening.
