Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen. Meeting 2005 Zurich Adopted Criteria Difficult choice ! Adopted Criteria: Fitting with COSMO strategies and goals Priority list defined within each WG FTE already available/allocated (the project is already well addressed and does not impact too much on the amount of resources to be found) A real benefit of the activities coming from being organized within a project Number of selected projects at the upper limit! Considering this is the Trial Year it is better to give more possibility to choice 12/09/2005 13:30 Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen. Meeting 2005 Zurich

Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen. Meeting 2005 Zurich 14th STC meeting DWD, 13 June 2005 STC defines COSMO strategy SAC (WP Coordinators + SPM) defines a preliminary list of projects fitting COSMO strategy General Meeting parallel sessions: collection of proposals and fine- tuning of projects SAC defines a priority list to be submitted to the decisions of STC STC selects a limited (one-digit) numbers of “top priority projects” WP coordinators identify Project Leaders Project Leaders prepare a detailed Project description and a clear project plan (project activities, human resources, milestones) STC gives the final approval of the projects STC members assigns human resources to the projects 12/09/2005 13:30 Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen.
