Proposed Agenda

1. Bonn agenda
2. IEs feedback and way forward
3. Others
4. Next Telcon

1) Bonn agenda :

No discussion. There will be a telecon and webex support. See : http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/MetOceanDWGBonn

2) IEs feedback and way forward:

ECMWF and Meteo-France have added return of experiences with several servers on : http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/MetocWMS_WMS_IE_Retex

Marie-francoise will make a first draft of a ppt to be presented at Bonn describing the status of the testings done or that could be done in order to define a way to go forward. It could be discussed at the next telco as there will not be a lot of time in Bonn to discuss it.

Stefan raises the problem of the possible instability of the standards when Met services need stability to face operationnal contraints of complex information systems with a lot of users : he recommends that the Profile should call people attention on this issue. John say NWS has implemented a solution of mitigation on the level of the standard via the getcapablities to solve this problem.

The testings should encompass the GetFeature Info possibilities and performances. If the performances are not good enough, some other solutions should be investigated (WMS metadata for instance?).

2) Others:

People would appreciate some feedback on the progress of the modelling activities. Jeremy is in the US but agreed to give some feedback into a next telecon. Marie6francoise Will remind it to him for next one maybe?

The Bonn TC should be the opportunity to check the status of the requirements expressedto the WMS1.4 SWG by the Met Ocean DWG.

4) Next Telcon
