#1 Helping WIGOS Succeed

The establishment of CBS/IOS/IPET-WIFI to ensure CBS delivers its commitments to WIGOS effectively means the ToR ‘a’ becomes:

Contribute to the implementation of WIGOS by undertaking those tasks assigned to it by the CBS/IOS IPET WIFI Chair from the WIGOS Framework Implementation Plan. This was provisionally agreed at ET-SBO-1.


Managing tasks assigned to SBO

Whilst a number of suggestions have been made where ET-SBO can assist in the successful delivery of WIGOS Implementation, we should only undertake activities were a number of criteria have been met. I suggest these criteria are:

The scope of the task is well defined;

The level of resource required to undertake the task has been agreed between Chair IPET-WIFI and Chair ET-SBO;

A member or members of ET-SBO have agreed to undertake the task in the agreed timeframe;

The WIGOS PO have allocated a co-ordination resource.


Breakout Group Task

• Review the WIGOS Framework Implementation Plan Actions Table and identify those actions where we could provide assistance.

• Some thoughts from a previous review exercise could assist, paper copies to be provided.

• Consider the requests for support during the WIGOS presentations yesterday and identity the highest priority tasks.

• Slides from yesterday to be made available
