Meeting Notes

Topic: Work on the Table of content for the report on FIRMS-GRSF partnership that should also serve for the pre-meeting document for EAB TWG3. The ToC referred to is here https://docs.google.com/document/d/11m_kIk0An1A7kLm1P1LlxaTSsgar2MQgQ89VVpM-aRs

FAO (Marc Taconet, Nicolas Bailly, Aureliano Gentile, Giulia Gorelli, Paula Anton)

Notes

The ToC general structure was reviewed first, and some general questions were raised.

AG proposed that this outline is also the outline for the document to be sent for the EAB TWG3.
NB and MT suggested it is a too long document.
[After the meeting NB, thinks it is a good idea. We will just reduce the text compared to the final report]

The recipients of the text are the current GRSF partners, the EAB TWG3 members, and the FIRMS partners, involved FAO services. Key addressees will be contacted by MT.

It must be clear that it is an open document for discussion, and addressees should be asked to contribute to the agenda, e.g., Yimin to introduce SDG14.4.1 through the results of the November workshop.

It must contain a questionnaire of which the results will be discussed during the meeting (a summary of the feed-back must be sent before the meeting however).

NB suggested that deliverables of the consultancy should be put in annex, and that the text should be used for explaining and completing them, as they are maintained short and concise in purpose. This was agreed; however, it can be changed during the work progress.

Discussion on how to mention BlueBridge: iMarine agreement is the basis of all VRE and related activities agreements, not the BlueBridge agreement. For instance, although some provisions exist in the BlueBridge data policy agreement in that are not in the iMarine one, the GRSF policy agreement should refer to iMarine only (and complete it for GRSF data agreement).
BlueBridge can be mentioned as the project where GRSF was built, but policies and legalities (if any) should stem in iMarine.

Then the ToC was reviewed section by section, and comments discussed.

Rationale / Background

MT cited several other documents on SDG14. GG to help NB to get them.

For the indicator SDG14.4.1, Cristina Ribeiro (OCS) should be contacted to give some details on how it is handled currently (G?).

Report of November workshop.
GG will ask Marcello.
MT contacts Yimin with help of GG

The catch statistics should not be cited as a species example for GRSF, because containing already stocks statistics. Also SDG14.4.1 is already produced. So the advantage of using GRSF itead of the current system should be shown (hence the importance to talk with OCS, and get their views on reporting systems).

Introduction

To be developed with the help of AG and GG.
GRSF as of now.

There is a webinar 25th January on GRSF organized by TrustIT..

Value proposition

See above how to deal with the value proposition. [Other option: put value prop. as intro]
Integrate in that section the questionnaire responses by partners

MT suggested that services description are missing.
GG and AG will help to describe the potential services.
See list given by Marc during the discussion in the GDrive.
GG will be the focal point for services details.

Discussion between MT and GG. about the potential overlap between FAO services.
NB mentioned that promoting is an issue for all data repositories, because you can do that only by promoting tools that use the data, not the data themselves.
In the present case, SDG14.4.1 is produced by OCS (?), not by GRSF. So we have to take care on how we word and describe these services, being precise when it is a GRSF tool, or a GRSF data support for non-GRSF tools.

Business model

Finalize Data agreement with Vivi.

LEG = legal service

Business plan = exploitation plan

See iMarine business plan and prepare: Envisaged partners; Phasing; Outreach

First focus in-Kind resources and identify possible gaps.

G: Do we need to go back to RFBs? Discussion MT and G.
