Tom welcomed the team members and commenced the meeting by explaining how the two meetings per month are organized. Essentially, there are four topics, with roughly 45 minutes dedicated to each topic across the three hours total.
The team reviewed previous actions with most actions remaining open.
Anna provided a secretariat update, noting that the fast-track period for NFP review concludes today with a couple of changes in the topics. She also mentioned that there are open PRs in the WTH, WCMP2 and WNM based on edits from the publishing department.
The team then reviewed the following open issues. See notes in the issue comments.
WCMP2
- add examples (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/225)
- make specific role required for attribution (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/186)
- clarify local identifier in id (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/182)
- register WMO as a URN namespace (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/181)
- codelist for properties.status (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/175)
- add KPI for Pub/Sub links and centre identifiers (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/168)
- snippets validation errors (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/issues/152)
- prepare for LSP publication (https://github.com/wmo-im/wcmp2/pull/232)

WTH

update metadata publishing (https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/pull/180)
add topics for ocean (https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/issues/151)
add topics for tropical cyclone (https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/issues/161)
prepare for LSP publication (https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/pull/185)
One of the team members requested a link to the WMO list of core and recommended data. It was noted that there is a list of generic/broad datatypes identified as core or recommended in Annex 1 of the WMO Unified Data Policy at https://library.wmo.int/idviewer/57850/15 and further details may be found in other publications such as the Manual on WIPPS and the Manual on WIGOS. It was also noted that these lists are not exclusive. Any data that can be exchanged on a free and unrestricted basis can be categorized as core data in WIS2. Conversely, if there are restrictions on data access, such as a cost, the data must be categorized as recommended.

Tom concluded the meeting by asking all attendees for their last thoughts.
