Continuation of CEOS Ad hoc Groups/Teams Agenda item: 26 Kerry Ann Sawyer, CEOS Executive Officer
Ad Hoc Working Groups and “Teams” Pre-Plenary Current Ad Hoc Working Groups. • Ad Hoc Space Data Coordination Group (SDCG) for the Global Forest Observation Initiative (GFOI) • Ad Hoc Working Group on GEOGLAM • CEOS Carbon Task Force • Ad Hoc Working Group on Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Current Ad Hoc Entities (or “teams”) • Disaster Study Group • Supersites Coordination Team (SCT) – but this technically under the Disaster SBA Team • Land Surface Imaging Study Group • CEOS GEO Post-2015 Team
New Guidance from CSS In the event that the permanent mechanisms…are judged to be insufficient for CEOS to undertake a particular activity, the capability exists for the Plenary to create Ad HocTeams. The Plenary assigns short-term objectives to each Ad Hoc Team and defines the team lifetime when the team is created. The primary reporting path for an Ad Hoc Team is either to the CEOS Chair or to the SIT Chair, as designated by the Plenary according to the purpose and function of the Ad Hoc Team. Annually, the Plenary reviews all Ad Hoc Teams for continuation, termination, or transition to a permanent mechanism.
