  3. Key Questions • What is a Climate Services Information System, and what are its mechanisms for the generation and exchange of global-regional-national climate information? • How do WMO Technical Regulations (through GDPFS) facilitate quality management and operational commitments in this regard? • What climate information is the existing WMO system for global (GPCs, global climate data centres, global climate monitoring centres) and regional centres (RCCs) producing and disseminating? • What are the consensus approaches to facilitate common understanding of climate information? • What are Regional Climate Outlook Forums? • What is a Global Seasonal Climate Update? • How do the WMO Information System (WIS), the Global Telecommunication System (GTS), the Internet, and other technologies help in the flow of climate information?
