That looks like a good improvement.

NTP includes a mechanism for leap-second notification. That's a good start
but what we're trying to capture here is the entire communications chain
from IERS to the slaved clocks. In addition to these protocol mechanisms
for delivering leap-second notifications, master clocks must have access to
an up-to-date leap second schedule through some other communications
channel (e.g. FTP leap-seconds.list from a NIST server).

I can revise to emphasize that time protocol notifications are not
sufficient but I don't think we want to try and describe the whole
communications channel for this information. Or we can leave it as it is.
The current text is terse but correct.

Thanks. I will fix these.
