1 st GOVST Meeting, Mercator-Ocean, Toulouse, 8-10 June 2009 Membership – general terms The GODAE Ocean Science Team (GOVST) membership should reflect all major activities supported by GODAE Ocean View Currently limited to 30 members to allow for an efficient and effective operation of the team The GODAE OceanView science team will initially be co-chaired by two of its members New members will be proposed by the chair or co-chairs and are subject to approval by the Science Team itself The term of membership will normally be 4 years but can be extended with the agreement of the chair or co-chairs The chair of ET-OOFS and the chairs of the Task Teams are members of GODAE Ocean View Science Team. Representatives from Argo, GHRSST, OSTST are also ex officio members of the science team The GOVST co-chairs and the project office oversee the activities of the task teams and assist the TT co-chairs if and when required

1 st GOVST Meeting, Mercator-Ocean, Toulouse, 8-10 June 2009 Membership - responsibility The Science Team is responsible for: oLeading and managing the execution of the GODAE OceanView oPromoting the development of improved capabilities in ocean analysis and forecasting oDeveloping collaborations and improved communications between the GODAE OceanView partners oEvaluating scientific developments to optimize the use of knowledge and technology in GODAE Ocean View implementations oReporting on national activities related to GODAE Ocean View. Maintain an up-to-date description of national capabilities related to ocean analysis and forecasts (national reports) oLiaising with other international programs of interest to, and interested in, GODAE Ocean View
