do you think we will have forecast areas valid only for a specified period of time? I couldn't see why to carry restrictions

If you agree pls remove (((PEREND; PERSTA; RESTRN;))) from the article

I do not see a need for RESTRN.

However I can see PEREND and PERSTA being used for ICE forcasts and warnings. I think it is also possible that some forecasts are provided during the main leisure seasons in inshore waters for yachties. So I have tied up with this.

The working majority of the group agreed therefore RESTRN deleted.

I still have problems with PERSTA/END. I see your point but that is probably a wrong thought. The forecast itself can broadcast within a specified period of time. I wonder that the area designator should also have a limited lifetime. I am thinking, the area name specified by a category of area he was given for is valid all over the year. The mariner may expect a kind of weather report in a specified time period. I know from discussions with the Canadians that it is extremely difficult to change forecast areas because they are "burned" in the users' mind.

What do you think?
