[IGS-DCWG-217] Re: [IGS-IC-853] Re: new IC Charter for approval and doodle for next telecon

Dear Nacho, all,

thank you for highlighting the changes in blue. Since the

• Data Center Representatives
o One representative from each active IGS Global Data Center

is also a change, it should be marked blue as well.

The official wordings are “Analysis Center Coordinator” and “”Clock Products
Coordinator”.

I did not find, neither the wording nor the task description, of the
“Central Bureau Infrastructure and Operations Manager”.

If we nominate “One representative from each active IGS Global Data Center “
and since we have six global data centres, adding these six to the six ex
officio members leaves up to one other members left if the IC consists of
“up to 13” members.

Concerning Carine’s remark on the regional sub-commissions: They are
implicitly mentioned in the “IAG sister services”, mentioned twice in the
charter. We could extend the preamble in the way
“The IC interacts with International Association of Geodesy (IAG) sister
services and projects – including the International Earth Rotation and
Reference Systems Service (IERS), the Global Geodetic Observing System
(GGOS) and the Commission 1 Sub-Commissions – and with other external groups
(such as the RTCM) to synchronize with the global, multitechnique geodetic
infrastructure.“
This way, SC1.2 as well as SC1.3 were mentioned. Otherwise it is difficult
where to start and stop with adding specific components or partners.

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Dear Nacho,

In the past years, the IC also interacted with the regional densifications
of the IGS (eg EUREF and SIRGAS) to ensure that the policies, standards,
guidelines, and recommendations developed by the IC were supported and used
within the regional networks (which have overlaps with the IGS network). It
has been a fruitful and useful interaction and it is important to keep it.

However, this interaction is presently missing in the charter. Would it be
possible to add it?

Best regards,
Carine

so much. As you know we have been coordinating all DC issues through the IC
for many years. The Final issue has been the suggestion by the CB to make
the IC Chair the new 'IGS Infrastructure Coordinator' with a vote in the GB
meetings so that infrastructure is better represented.

need for a separate working group for data center activities.

objectives are carried out, primarily the collection and dissemination of
IGS data and analysis products. Other responsibilities include quality
control of the IGS related files, performance evaluation, and continued
