New proposed WMO Structure Strategic Plan Global Lead/Regional Expertise Executive Council Policy, Coordination, Integration, Foresight Long-term Goals Services Commission 1 CAS expanded into a new Research Board on Weather, Climate, Water and the Environment Move away from a strict inter-governmental arrangement Strengthen the integration between current research programmes (WCRP, WWRP and GAW) and non-governmental actors, (academia, research centers and the private sector). Services Policy Advisory Committee Only 2 TC instead of 8 Infrastructure Commission Technical Coordination Committee 2 Systems Scientific Advisory Panel Research Board 3 Science Support to Members Regional Associations 4 Smart Organization 5 Agile, responsive Secretariat EC-70 Recommendations to Congress Established by EC-70
NEEDED: AN ENHANCED ROLE FOR REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS Congress / EC Political and economic regional groups Scientific and technical communities Regional requirements, needs and priorities TECHNICAL COMMISSIONS Technical solutions Standards, guidance REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS National/regional experts Expertise, assistance, efficiency, innovation Implementation Process
