Progress on IRCC Progress on IRCC- -10 Action Items 10 Action Items Decision 1: to approve the GEBCO Work Plan 2018-2019 (Annex B of doc. IRCC10-07I). Recommendations to RHC: 1. Continue to encourage RHCs to organize contribution of bathymetric data in shallower coastal areas from their member states to GEBCO in order to support the production of higher resolution gridded data products of GEBCO; 2. Encourage RHCs to invite and communicate with GEBCO members to their meetings Decision 2: to note the reports under agenda item 7 (docs. IRCC10-07A to I). There were no specific actions on the GGC from IRCC10.
