Roger Dargaville kindly agreed to take the minutes. Item 2 – Discussion from previous meeting How do the IGOS partners get involved into GEO? (W. Grabs) This started significant discussion of the role of IGOS and the themes in the GEO process. GEO membership is at the governmental level, but there are also many participating organisations, including IGOS-P, therefore IGOS can be, and is represented on GEO committees. In addition, members of the themes, either as national representatives or as participating organisations can be members of GEO committees. This can, however, lead to conflicts of interest, if the theme representatives attempt to represent both the IGOS themes and their country. How does IGOS get representation? As a partnership, it is difficult for any one partner to speak for the whole group, other than when the issues directly relate to issues where IGOS already has a documented position. Four Communities of Practice exist in which IGOS plays a critical role and which have varying degrees of overlap with the related IGOS themes, but it should be noted that the theme representation is not organised through IGOS-P (McManus). IGOS should be asked if they would be seeking to have theme representation on the five GEO committees. The way forward seemed unclear. Does it make sense to have new communities of practice for each theme? It was felt to be important that the IGOS-P label is not lost and to be clear that the GEO Communities of Practice are different from, but related to, the IGOS-P themes (McManus). All agreed that IGOS-P should be involved in the communities of practice. What status does IGOS have? (Grabs) It’s a voluntary, best endeavours partnership. It’s the partners themselves who will be represented on the GEO Committees. GEO is actually struggling to get enough volunteers to do what IGOS has already done. How had GEO inputs from the themes been used? Achache said that the inputs were useful and were being included into the GEO work plan. Some groups reported that they had had difficulties getting their input into GEO (Ryabinin). But ohers had been more successful, maintaining contact despite changes of personnel in the Secretariat and being persistent (Marsh). Mapping exercise. It was agreed that this should await clarity on the IGOS GEO relationship. Some individual areas had been discussed e.g. Secretariat staff had talked to the Atmospheric Chemistry Theme and discussed mapping of chemistry and issues about missing links to Health (Barrie). Theme leaders group is now a recognised group with a slot on the plenary agenda. What to do next? It was suggested that the TLG could take on a significant role within the partnership because the group of themes has grown to become an important and potentially powerful collective (Hinsman). Item 3 – Theme status and potential for new IGOS Partners Geohazards – The theme is entering its year 3 review phase. It is looking for individual organisations to take responsibility for various tasks. A key activity is the strengthening of links to in-situ observing communities. Planning both regional and international workshops to expand participation, e.g. regional workshop in SE Asia, in collaboration with GEO Secretariat. Carbon theme – There are two main theme: establishment of a theme office and seeking approval for the theme’s implementation plan at the IGOS-P meeting. Water cycle theme – A comprehensice report covered water quality observations from space, taping into the UNEP observations, focussing on bio-inidcators, i.e. water colour due to pollutants. The soil moisture working group had identified the need for coordination as the observations are all scattered – developing global in situ capacity, matched to EO with funding from ESA. Other aspects included: global runoff product; capacity building component; coordinated enhanced observing period, driven largely by JAXA; big improvement in data coverage and availability; data assimilation experiment, yielding products. It was also reported that the Secretariat oversight has changed. Rick Lawford was still participating, with secretariat support coming from WMO. UNEP, WMO and UNESCO are now the co-chairs. Rick’s workload was too big before and has been reduced by this change. Atmospheric Chemistry – Links to carbon and water themes were discussed. WMO is the leading organisation, and has a long standing process for implementation. WMO supports IGACO and believes that GAW should implement it. A meeting on May 3-4th discussed how GAW could do that. Theme focuses on ozone and greenhouse gasses. The Finnish met office is sponsoring ozone work. Need to identify gaps and include them in implantation plans even when no-one is doing it, hopefully to encourage a group to pick it up Cryosphere theme – They are still in the process of forming the theme. SCAR is working well and contributing resources. Theme is gradually taking form, lots of information gathered, and now ready to prepare recommendations; its next meeting will be hosted by the Canadian Met service. Cryosphere is very diverse and to include everything is a lot of work; for example, 54 people had contributed to the plan to date. Note that the Cryosphere observing system is a collection of separate diverse observing networks. Glacier and ice-sheet information was included in the GCOS plan as essential variables. Community suffered major loss when Cryosat failed, but with strong lobbying efforts Cryostat II has been approved. They are hoping to have their report ready for internal review by boreal autumn. Data centres were becoming involved, like the US national snow and ice data centre. Coastal theme – The report was published in January 2006. It focussed on remote sensing recommendations and the theme is working with space agencies to get the recommendations adopted. A Coastal Community of Practice was created in GEO II. GTOS and GOOS have agree to have a joint panel for coastal observations; this panel with be the key committee to lead coastal theme observations. The panel will meet together with GOOS in South Africa in September 2006. Coastal is involved in 5 SBAs. A forecast system for coral bleaching is being put in place. Ocean theme – This theme is going through the rolling 3 year review phase. They are looking at the original theme report and assessing what it achieved, as well as considering how to re-write the report given the new GEO environment. It might be nice to have a template for how to get support from sponsors. Land theme – Current activity is drafting the report. A complete draft is being circulated. They will develop an implementation plan. So far the Land report encompasses many different observations, but focusses on remote sensing. They are also interested in geo-human observations. Potential new theme on Geodetic Observations – Hans Peter Plag presented an overview of the application of Geodetic observations to the other themes. Geodesy concerns Earth’s shape and its deformation, rotation and associated gravity field. Accuracy is 10-9 heading for 10-10. Most themes have a direct need for GGOS, especially Geohazards, Ocean, Water and Cryosphere. Item 4 – Cross theme interactions This was moved to end the end of the meeting and only briefly discussed. Ocean theme does not mention other themes, as it was first. The other themes make use of cross-references, including to the ocean theme. The Ocean theme now needs to refer to the other themes as one of the changes in its review phase. Item 5 – Interactions with GEO This discussion was brought forward at the request of Don Hinsman. The IGOS Co-Chairs were pleased to see how the theme leaders group is evolving. They stated that what the themes do both individually and collectively is very important to IGOS and GEO. Of the 97 GEO tasks, IGOS themes are leaders on 10% and contributing to 33%, which was commended. IGOS will be a lead group for Health, and participant in Energy, because GEO has recognised that IGOS-P is the backbone for doing themes and SBAs. There was a need to find a way to keep IGOS informed with respect to this GEO task activity; make sure to inform IGOS-P of the GEO activities of the themes. The formation of the Communities of Practice was also commended as a contribution to mapping IGOS onto GEO. Mapping exercise is being done by default by the creation of committees and communities of practice. Hinsman doesn’t see that a community of practice is required for every theme, but he would like to see each theme encouraged to consider having a community of practice. GEO recently released its draft 2007-09 work plan. The deadline for comments on the 2007-9 work plan outline is at the end of the week. In the next few months, the themes need to work to influence the work plan, as money may be becoming available. It would be interesting to see a template produced for a “Standard Theme Support Office”. IGOS will want to provide technical input around September; how can the partnership best become involved? GEO III will approve the plan in December, so it can’t wait until May next year for the next IGOS-P plenary. What kind of a meeting might we want to contribute to, around September? It was noted that the GEO Secretariat staff changes every year, so maybe it is better to work through the five GEO committees. However, the secretariat is controlling the budget for consultants and workshops. Both ways of influencing GEO will therefore remain important. It was confirmed that participating organisations can be on GEO committees, but participants were warned that GEO is a very time consuming activity. Being on GEO committees is a way of hedging our bets to be safe if GEO continues and IGOS is wound up. Len Barrie suggested that the committee lists be assessed to see if Themes are already represented. All agreed that the big advantage of GEO is that we now have ministers saying that observations are important, but it was agreed that IGOS and its Themes have important attributes that GEO does not yet have. It was suggested that the theme leaders group be formalised, with Terms of Reference. This would then require us to update the process paper for the themes to reflect the existence and role of the TLG. Item 6 – Points for IGOS-P plenary Suggest formalising the Theme Leaders Group with Terms of Reference. Suggest that we have a dedicated day for a cross-theme integration exercise and, if agreed, develop a scoping paper to outline possible outcomes of such a meeting – how would it work, what would we do with these outcomes? IGOS-P needs to lead this exercise to be the coordinating body. Discuss IGOS-P and IGOS Theme representation within GEO on its committees and as Communities of Practice. ?AKLW./|’QR|Ћлќn o p ‹ f “ вфєTU_ЬиfwжыЧЩгхGTp{ЅЏР я П!Т!а!г!3"U"œ"Š#Љ#ёсёдёдЦдёдёЖдЖдёдЖдЖдЖдЖдёдёдёдёдёдЈдёдёдёдёдёдЈдЈдёšдё6CJOJQJaJmH sH CJH*OJQJaJmH sH 56CJOJQJaJmH sH ;CJOJQJaJmH sH CJOJQJaJmH sH 5CJH*OJQJaJmH sH 5CJOJQJaJmH sH 8#KLWqЇСзю!D\{|’QR|Зклo p e f бвњњѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѓѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕѕ$a$$a$#0ўвѓєTUЫЬefежвгFGopЄЅП Р 2"3"U"ž"‰#Š#Љ#њњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњњ$a$Љ#ь#8&9&Г'Д'&*'*f-g-1.2.U.V.›.Й/#0њњњњњњњњњјњњњ№№№$ & Fa$$a$Љ#ь#g-1.2.U.#0№упубу5CJOJQJaJmH sH 5\CJOJQJaJmH sH 6CJOJQJ]aJmH sH ,1hА‚.
