There was the suggestion from discussions between the co-chairs and Craig Donlon about this and it was agreed that a workshop should
be proposed to discuss the work which could be done which would also be of interest to ESA. Marie Drevillon and Matt Martin were asked
to liaise with Craig about it. They put together a proposal for the workshop, and sent it to Craig in June. They received no response for a
couple of months, so Matt spoke to Craig on the phone. He had not seen the email (because their mailboxes had been changed). He said
he would forward it to someone else in ESA to deal with, but we still haven't heard anything back, despite a reminder email being sent a
couple of weeks ago.
So basically the status is "ongoing".
Ongoing
Ukmet (Dan Lea) has published his OIS Technical report that is today the basis for OIS standards. This action is ongoing
because we should try to motivate all groups to provide a data-usage report. This would be a step towards OISs
Ongoing . Partially done through the NRT OSE activity done by Ukmet. Material exist but the OIS not officially provided to ARGO
