Key issues on RA-WIGOS/WIS
WHAT/WHO/WHEN?
•
WHAT:
– Firstly is the decision of the RA WIGOS priority areas
– This should be decided by RAs
•
WHAT: should be Services driven approach
–
–
–
WIGOS/WIS aim to provide data products & information
for services, by integrating space & surface systems,
WIGOS more than just observations !
RAs shall determine RA-WIGOS priority areas based upon
their RA services priority requirements
National WIGOS/WIS plan shall also determine their
WIGOS priority based upon their urgent services needs.

Key issues on RA-WIGOS/WIS
WHAT/WHO/WHEN?
•
WHO:
– RAs and Members within that RA should
play primary role for RA-WIGOS/WIS
and NA-WIGOS/WIS through their
enhanced working structure
– TCs play important technical support role
– Secretariat departments provide
coordination and organizing support role
7
WHO do the real job: Joint Mechanisms-1
Joint Working Team (J-WT) for each RA
•
Composition
–
–
–
–
–
•
Chairperson of the J-WT from RA
Core members ( 4-5) from the RA
TC members from CBS and/or CIMO or other TCs (coordinate at ICG-WIGOS)
Secretariat P staff support, mainly focal points one each from DRA and OBS Dept.
National Focal Points can be invited.
ToR of the J-WT
–
To develop the RA-WIGOS/WIS implementation plan
–
To provide technical guidance and support to the RA & Members of the RA for
the WIGOS/WIS implementation
–
To report to the J-MG; RA sessions and TCs sessions on the progress & key issues
with RA-WIGOS/WIS implementation
•
Working methods
–
–
Develop RA-WIGOS/WIS plan by intensive working period (e-mtgs mainly)
Work together with relevant RA WGs & NMHSs for the WIGOS/WIS
implementation during the IP Phase

WHO oversight the job: Joint Mechanisms 2Joint Management & Oversight Group (J-MG) for each RA

Guidance & Decisions on the RA-WIGOS/WIS priority areas
Nominate J-WT member, supervise & review J-WT progress
Identify and mobilize resources to support the RA-WIGOS implementation
Working methods
–
–
–
Discuss and exchange views by email/video/audio
Face to face meeting annually, before each EC session
The meeting can be integrated with RA MG under a special item

Report to WHO: Cross Reporting & Review procedures (1)
I-1: Report to RA session: the following suggestions are proposed:
•
An Expert Segment be arranged 2-3 days before the
political segment, to allow in-depth key technical
discussions and suggestions within the regional experts
•
J-WT Chair report to the RA session for guidance and key
decisions, and he is responsible for the follow-up
I-2: Report to RA MG annually during the inter-session period
•
Set annual targets clearly with performance indicators
•
RA MG review annual progress against the targets, and
solve key problems
10
Report to WHO :Cross Reporting & Review procedures (2)
II-1: Report to relevant TC sessions. The following ideas are
considered:
•
A specific time slot for the RA WIGOS report and
discussion in the TC agenda.
•
RA-WIGOS documents are part of the TC documents
•
Each J-WT Chair shall report to the TC session for
guidance and key technical decisions.
II-2: Report to TC MG annually during the TC inter-session period
•
Each J-WT provide summary before TC (CBS) MG
•
Each TC MG session shall review RA-WIGOS/WIS
progress
11
Report to WHO :Cross Reporting & Review procedures (3)
III-1: Report to EC sessions: Annual EC session is an excellent chance to
coordinate & guide RA-WIGOS/WIS key issues by EC members.
•
WIGOS PO consolidate all the RA WIGOS progress before each EC,
incorporate into EC WIGOS documents
•
PRA/PTC joint session : Review all RA WIGOS progress as one of
the agenda items of PRA/PTC joint session
•
Special side meeting (s) should be arranged, in case of need, with all
the specific EC members for specific issues
III-2: Report to Cg 17
•
All RA presidents shall report to Cg 17 on their RA-WIGOS/WIS
achievements & key issues
•

let’s make the connections !
•
•
–
–
•
–
–
•
–
DRA & OBS depts, working together with other relevant depts, to play a
key coordinating & supporting role to the work of the J-WT. Subject to
the availability of funds:
DRA Dept:

including chairperson attendance to the CBS and/or CIMO sessions /
activities
Support DRA staff to coordinate & attend TC sessions / activities
OBS/RES/CLW Depts:
Support J-WT TC members activities, including attendance to the RA
sessions / activities
Support OBS staff to attend RA sessions / activities
RAs + Members

Management Mechanisms OK?
• What about the Reporting and Review
process ?
• Resources Mobilization strategy for the real
WIGOS Implementation ?
