GCI-CT: recent Activities • Weekly telecons since GEO Plenary • Draft functional test procedures (Feb 18, 2010) • GCI-CT Kick-off meeting (Feb 23-24, 2010) • Consolidation of Work Plan & Consolidated Requirements • Definition of Selection Process and Test Logic • Agreement of Weights on criteria • Draft Letter with criteria to GCI Providers • Letter sent to GCI Component Providers(2 March 2010)
GCI-CT: recent Activities • Meeting GCI-CT and Test Teams (INPE, JRC)(3 March 2010) • Optimization of test logic • Consolidation of Work Plan • Establishment of rating system • Assessment of Test Procedures by Test Teams (INPE, JRC) (8 March 2010)
GCI-CT: Deliverables to ExCom-18 • GCI-CT Terms of Reference: ExCom Document 8 • Recommendations for Long-Term Operations of the GCI: updated version of 5 March 2010 • Action (Work) Plan: updated version of 5 March 2010 • Note, further update still needed to reflect the Test Phases and associated milestones dates. • Consolidated Requirements – updated • Note, further update still needed to include a new requirement relative to the time notice (90 days) for a GCI Provider to inform the GEO Secretariat in case of their cessation of GCI operations.
Conclusions • The process is underway that will lead to a recommendation on the single Clearinghouse and GEO Web Portal being prepared for EXCOM, with the expectation that this recommendation can be made available by mid-June 2010. • It is important that this timescale is adhered to, as there is a clear need to complete the selection process as soon as possible, in order to allow the selected GCI Component Providers to work together to ensure that a truly operational GCI is implemented in advance of the GEO Ministerial Summit.
