Expected milestones 2008

• Progressing in CB gap identification for all
  SBAs (using existing data complements )
• CB Best Practices Register lt- provider-based Wiki
• Ref. www.ieee-earth.org Ruth Duerr
• CB Needs inventory lt- end user-based
• GEO CB Services activated through GEO Portal,
  GEONETCast system,

Working methods

• Initiate (funded) project in regions e.g. calls
  EU FP7, ESA, e.g. (Share-Earth, Black Sea
  proposal, etc.)
• Or other data gathering methods wiki,..?
• Coordinating meetings (calls) with other CB task
  leads main contributors
• Reporting
• Organize CB (do) workshops (side events) at
  intl prof. events (e.g. AARSE Oct, 2008, Accra,
  Ghana, EUMETSAT User Conf,) on use of GEOnetcast
  (data access, sharing) Open Source (freeware)
  gaps need evaluation in practice in regions
