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

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 2-Joint Management & Oversight Group (J-MG) for each RA
• Composition– President of RA = Chair– PTC (CBS or CIMO or other TCs, priority dependent) or his representative– Chairperson of the J-Working Team– D/DRA & D/OBS, supported by DRA Regional Director & OBS WIGOS
project office
• ToR of J-MG – 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

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
![Page 12: World Meteorological Organization Working together in weather, climate and water Working Together at Regional Level for a better future W. Zhang, D/OBS;](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55153cb055034685568b4cd2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

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
• TC presidents shall also report to Cg17 on both global and regional WIGOS/WIS implementation progress & achievements.

WHO support: Joint Support mechanismlet’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: – Support J-WT chairperson & core members for RA activities,
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
– Mobilize resources (within the RA and/or working together with funding agencies, supported by D/RM) for supporting regional & national WIGOS/WIS implementation & coordination activities within the Region.

Key issues on RA-WIGOS WHAT/WHO/WHEN?
• WHEN: – WIGOS/WIS IP Plan shall be available no
later than EC 64 (2012), in which RA-WIGOS plans are key components
– Implementation shall start soon after EC 64 (June 2012)
– Final report to Cg 17, 2015

Key discussion questions
• What is the right strategy and efficient mechanism ?
• Are the proposed Joint Working and Management Mechanisms OK?
• What about the Reporting and Review process ?
• Resources Mobilization strategy for the real WIGOS Implementation ?
