ANNEX: TIMETABLE (1)) Updated 7.09.05 DATES TRANSCRIPTION OF GIG TIMETABLE (OPTION 1) PROPOSED BY JRC/SteeringGROUP REVISED AND SPECIFIED TIMETABLE (OPTION 1) AS EXPECTED BY THE LM-GIG COORDINATOR L-M GIG MEETINGS WG A Oct/04- Jan/05 Development of boundary setting (b.s) procedure Agreement on data needs Agreement on principles of reference conditions (r.c) setting (e.g., by comparing national type-specific values) Final agreement on data needs, sampling and analytical methods Agreement on principles of r.c. setting (e.g., by trying the spatial approach) Continue suggesting b.s. procedure If necessary, arrange intercalibration test for lab methods. If convenient, arrange supporting monitoring by satellite remote sensing 16 Dec/04 ----- Feb/05- March/05 M3 GIG Report On: B.s. procedure (incl. r.c.) Data requirements GIG Report on: [Progress about b.s. procedure.] Procedure on r.c. setting not decided, but r.c. sites are included Data requirements and summer sampling plans ---- March/05 Agreement on [b.s. procedure and] data requirement March/05- Aug/05 Collate data sets to apply b.s. procedure Apply b.s. procedures (inc. r.f.) Identify benchmarking sites. Collect field data on the IC sites by applying agreed sampling and lab methods [If previously agreed] Collect field data from reference sites as agreed by some countries [If agreed], supplement data collection by satellite remote sensing as agreed with some countries [If necessary, perform intercalibration test for lab methods] [Development of b.s. procedure] b.s. pending on summer sampling [To be decided] ----
