Presentations

 

Presentations shall be short and concise, supported by PowerPoint presentations when needed. Detailed working papers are requested to substantiate the PowerPoint presentation (for traceability and for the records but will not be reviewed in plenary). This is to allow for sufficient time for discussion.

 

Abstracts and proposals for actions and recommendations to be endorsed by plenary need to reach the CGMS Secretariat as per the given deadline.

 

Process for creating and/or updating CGMS good practices (BP)

 

The relevant CGMS working group or sub group prepares the good practice document until maturity has been reached for plenary endorsement and publication.

In preparation for the next plenary meeting and endorsement of the good practice, the following steps are necessary:

  1. The BP document (new or update) is created using the below template.
  2. A CGMS Working Paper is prepared describing the rationale for the BP including the BP text (new, or updated text shown with track changes) and is then presented to the relevant working group
  3. This WG discusses and updates the draft BP as necessary and presents it to plenary for endorsement
  4. Following plenary endorsement, the BP document is updated with any amendments proposed by plenary, and published on the CGMS website under publications.
