Information: WWW monitoring results

8. Agenda 2.3 – ISS (i a)
WIS needs to support WMO Members in implementing CAP as soon as possible in each of the WIS National Centres (NCs). Such implementation should encompass all hazard types within the purview of the NMHS and should eventually include all other alerting authorities registered by the WMO Member in the Register of Alerting Authorities.
Each of the WIS Global Information System Centres (GISCs) shall maintain on its website links to the news feeds of CAP alerts for all NC's they support. Each of the WIS GISCs shall track and report to ET-WISC on CAP implementation progress for all NC's they support. Where NCs are supported via Data Collection or Production Centres (DCPCs), the DCPCs shall track and report on CAP implementation progress of the NC's they support, and CAP implementation progress of the DCPC itself where appropriate.
ET-WISC shall report to CBS on the progress on implementation of CAP across all WMO Members, with particular attention to the least-developed countries where improved public warning is most needed.

Guideline for GISCs handing over the metadata role of principal GISC to another GISC (Annex 7)
SRU Server style sheet
WIS centre audits (See also TT CAC)
4 years GISC (2 years qualified audit)
8 years DCPC
Demonstrated commitment to play with other GISCs

13. CBS Agenda WIS
Annex 7 - Guidelines for migrating metadata records from one GISC to another GISC
Scenario and use case
Two GISCs are GISC A and GISC B. GISC B is newly becoming operational and starting metadata management for National Center X as its principal GISC. Accordingly, GISC A, which has been providing WMO Interim Metadata Management Service (WIMMS) for National Center X, is ending the service. Practically, a set of metadata records owned by National Center X needs to be moved from the OAI set that is provided by GISC A (assumedly WIS-GISC-A) to that of provided by GISC B (WIS-GISC-B).
Operational guidelines

14. Annex to 9.1: GISC backup procedures
- Scope of backup
Data intended for global exchange from NCs and DCPCs are mandatory.
Data intended for regional exchange from NCs and DCPCs are optional.
- Backup services
Data collection from AMDCN of the other GISC
Data provision to other GISCs
Make available on its GISC cache
Disseminate through GISC core network (GTS, RMDCN)
Data provision to NCs and DCPCs in AMDCN of the other GISC
Metadata management is out of scope for short term outages
- User Information
- If there is a need to exchange user information for the purpose, proper security measures should be taken based on the agreement on the two GISCs.
- Networks
A backup GISC needs to ensure network connectivity with Centres in the AMDCN it is backing up

20. Agenda 3.2 – WIS (iii) – Changes to Registry
1 The Secretary-General may authorize purely editorial changes (including removal of ambiguity).
2 Noting that once defined the meaning of an entry in the WMO Codes Registry cannot be changed (but can be clarified), the Secretary-General may authorize additions or changes to the WMO Codes Registry that are consequent on the introduction or changes to Technical Regulations.
3 President of CBS may authorize changes that have no impact on Technical Regulations.
4 Chair OPAG-ISS is responsible for implementing appropriate technical procedures to ensure the validity of contents of the WMO Codes Registry.
