Key objectives

The primary objectives of the meeting are complete the majority of actions defined in the terms of reference under Decision 5.2(1)/2 (EC-68) during the meeting and to put in place a plan to complete the remainder:

• (a) Recommend to ICT-ISS a process for making decisions impacting on the management of the capacity of WIS networks, including the process for agreeing that data may be designated as for global exchange (using the “GlobalExchange” keyword in the associated WIS Discovery Metadata record that controls routinely exchange between GISCs and contents of the WIS cache);
• (b) Recommend to ICT-ISS an escalation process for resolving issues that result from decisions made through the collaborative mechanisms established between the GISCs;
• (c) Propose to ICT-ISS a mechanism for gathering the expectations of technical commissions and regional associations for their requirements of what WIS would provide for them in the 2020s and beyond;
• (d) Inform ICT-ISS of the headline services that technical commissions and regional associations expect WIS to provide in the 2020s that could be used to guide the strategy for WIS before the detailed expectations had been gathered.
