Notes

• ToR: good for now
• WMO GitHub overview provided by Anna
• KPIs (Enrico)
  • submitting to INFCOM
    • option 1: propose amendment to the Guide (INFCOM, then Executive council)
      • need something ready by 16 December
    • option 2: add into an INFO document and submit by mid January 2021
      • need something ready by 16 mid-December
    • option 3: infom INFCOM that we are writing guidance and will produce a document for use in the WIS Guide in 2022
  • implementation checklist
    • 14 KPIs, varying level of completeness
    • work is needed to harmonize all KPIs
    • need an introduction (overview, who the KPIs are for, how they are to be used/implemented, reference implementation [pywcmp]). Added to https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp/issues/69
    • WIS 2 may change KPIs, but we still need to improve catalog holdings
    • reference implementation (pywcmp): will need KPIs in a usable state to start development
• Team identified volunteers to work on each KPI

Decisions

• ToR: good for now
• TT-WISMD will start to make changes via the WMO Repository Workflow Guidance once the KPIs are bootstrapped/hardened
• option 3 chosen for communication to INFCOM (will contain resolution for the INFO document). We will produce a guide on KPIs, but not updating the WIS Guides directly. We need this by 20 January 2021

Actions

• TT-WISMD team to work on assigned KPIs for 07 December 2020 meeting
• Enrico to inform INFCOM on option 3
