(Stephens) I think they should stay in all the headers. The idea is that each extension can stand alone if necessary and have the relevant keywords. The only reason to leave them in the primary header is for informational purposes. i.e. you just have to read the primary header and you know what the file is about.

(Ballet) I agree that the extensions are more important than the primary, and that the best solution is to have them in both the extensions and the primary.

2. HDUCLASS keywords

(Digel) I am not sure whether we adhere to the strict definition of a HDUCLASS1 = EVENTS file. The only column that we have in common with the specification of The Recommended Columns and Keywords for a FITS Event List is TIME.

(Foschini) Presently there is only one keyword to identify the template of EVENTS and GTI data structure. To take into account that templates can change (particularly during the first months after the launch), it is better to add a keyword EXTVERS or something similar with the version number of the used template. Moreover, the data structure of LAT and GBM can require different keywords, so I propose to give at the EXTNAME more complicate names to take into account the different uses: for example, for the LAT events there can be EXTNAME='GLAST-LAT_EVT' and the corresponding GTI can be EXTNAME='GLAST-LAT-GTI'.

(Ballet) I don't think it is a good idea to change the names. The INSTRUME and TELESCOP keywords are there to indicate which intruments we are dealing with. Better keep standard names for the EVENTS and GTI extensions. I agree to the EXTVERS suggestion.

17. GTI

(Foschini) I suggest to add a keyword GTI_NAME to the GTI header to explain the origin of GTI: for example, there could be GTI due to attitude, telemetry, or other. The final GTI can be a merging of the whole types of GTI.
