Key issues in Implementing WIGOS in RA II
General Challenges
• Lack of understanding of potential benefits
• Lack of effective collaboration mechanisms among key partners and
stakeholders
• Low level of commitment from Members  RAII survey
Pressing challenges & way forward
•
How to motivate RA II Members to implement new WIGOS technical
regulation and Manual
– Urgent need of explanatory guiding material to navigate Members to implement
WIGOS regulatory practices (esp. Metadata of regional networks, etc)
– Training of RA II EG-WIGOS members, to enable them to assist RA II Members to
carry on the implementation activities
– Strengthen the supervising mechanisn on WIGOS implementation,
hopefully by joint efforts of RA II MG and ICG-WIGOS
– Promotion of regional data exchange following WIS standards (metadata)
– WIGOS RA II Centers (CMA Monitoring platform can be a good
showcase)
