Purpose of meeting

CBS Ext.(2014) requested the Implementation Coordination Team (ICT-ISS), in collaboration with GISC Tehran, to assist IRIMO in the design and implementation of an affordable, interim solution to allow Iran to connect to the WIS Core Network as fully as possible. See CBS-Ext.(2014)/Doc. 3.2(1). In light of this request, ICT-ISS has tasked the Expert Team on Telecommunications Infrastructure (ET-CTS) with this activity and has asked WMO to arrange an ad hoc meeting of ET-CTS to allow them to start working on this issue. Noting that there is to be a meeting of RMDCN Operations Committee (ROC) to be held on the afternoon of 15th October and morning of 16th October at the Met Office and that several ET-CTS core members are participating in the ROC meeting, the chairs of ICT-ISS and ET-CTS recommend holding an ad hoc meeting of ET-CTS in the morning and afternoon adjacent to the ROC meeting.
