  1. CEOS Response to IPWG on Draft GEO Strategy 2016-2025 Committee on Earth Observation Satellites • CEOS Executive Officer Team • Agenda Item 5 • GEO Coordination • CNES, Paris • 31st March to 1st April 2015

  2. Key Messages 1 - CEOS values its ability to contribute to GEO as we have done for so many years as the recognised “space arm” of the GEOSS. CEOS has the unique ability to support GEO in the space domain.CEOS supported the establishment of GEO. Since that time, space agencies from around the world – presently 31 – have coordinated their current and planned systems for spaceborne Earth observations through CEOS. With some 133 on-orbit missions at the present time CEOS strongly believes it should be granted permanent observer status on ExCom due to its unique position as the satellite coordination arm of GEO, and theunparalleledscale of its contribution to GEO activities, including discoverable assets and major global initiatives such as GFOI, GEOGLAM. 2 - GEO is uniquely positioned to convene diverse bodies to agree on working together toward the same strategic direction. How GEO will develop, and harness, its power to convene and connect should be emphasized. 3 - The role of GEO Secretariat in engaging with stakeholders such as donors, investment banks, UN Agencies and the private sector should be made explicit and a priority activity for the GEO Secretariat.

  3. Key Messages 4 - Communities of Practice should be aligned with the Societal Benefit Areas and deliver prioritised user requirements that feed into the observational domains that will define the delivery mechanisms. 5 - GEO should put a particular focus in the next ten-year period on the improved coordination of in-situ observations and of integration of observations from different platforms, such as space and in-situ. 6 - A performance monitoring and evaluation system with clear 10-year goals for SBAs should be an integral part of the governance. It should enable stakeholders to clearly distinguish between the coordination of space and in situ observations in support of the GEOSS.
