ICG/PTWS-XXII/3s Executive Summary of the Twenty-second session of the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Pacific Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System; Guayaquil, Ecuador; 17-21 September 2007 - 4.6.5 - Follow-up to the First Meeting of the Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Hazards related to Sea Level Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS-WG)
The Co-Chairman of the Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Hazards Related to Sea-Level Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS-WG), Neville Smith (IOC Vice-Chairperson) will introduce this item. He will report on the conclusions of the First Meeting of the Working Group (Paris, 3–4 April 2008). The TOWS-WG reviewed the GOHWMS Draft Framework Document for a global tsunami and other ocean-related hazards early warning systems (IOC-XXIV/2 Annex 10). A revised and final version is presented to the Executive Council in Annex IV to its report (IOC/TOWS-WG-I/3). The TOWS-WG made a number of observations on the governance and mode of operation of the ICGs, noting some potential inefficiency. There should be a number of standing items in each ICG agenda. The TOWS-WG should be charged with streamlining and rationalizing the input from the ICGs to the Governing Bodies in such a way as to harmonize the work of the Commission and introduce consistency. The ICGs would be invited to introduce items, as appropriate, and would remain accountable and responsible for work programmes and associated reports. There is a general concern that the creation of working groups under each ICG, all dealing with similar matters and often calling on the same capability for advice and input, is not fully efficient. Moreover, where working groups are working in similar areas, such as standards, the terms of reference are often sufficiently different as to lead to different outputs and outcomes, making the task of harmonization and integration more difficult. The TOWS-WG believes it may be timely to consolidate and transition (or share) work with other bodies of IOC in a number of areas (science, observation and services). The TOWS-WG believes a global “core” network of sea level tide gauges should be defined by JCOMM/GLOSS for tsunami and ocean hazards, building on the GLOSS core network for climate, wherever possible. TOWS-WG further believes the tsunameter Partnership should transition to an Action Group under the JCOMM/DBCP, to exploit synergies and to encourage a global role. The TOWS-WG believes the IOC should give additional attention to the issue of high-resolution bathymetric data. The Working Group committed itself to undertaking intersessional work in a number of areas, including: (i) exchange of seismic data; (ii) adoption of standards and guidelines; (iii) outstanding telecommunication issues; (iv) testing the feasibility of ICSU involvement in coastal hazard studies; and (v) assisting the relevant subsidiary bodies to “act as one” in interactions with IOC partners, including ISDR and WMO. The task of the TOWS-WG is linked to the UNESCO 34 C/5 Programme and Budget through Expected Result 'Risks from tsunami and other ocean-related hazards reduced through early warning systems and preparedness and mitigation measures'. It also responds to the IOC High-Level Objective 1 for 2008–2009, namely 'Prevention and reduction of the impacts of natural hazards'. DECISION 4.6.5: The Executive Council will be invited to: (i) consider the Recommendations of the TOWS-WG-I; (ii) provide guidance and support to the TOWS-WG on the provision of advice on coordinated development and implementation activities relevant to warning and mitigation systems for tsunamis and other hazards related to sea level and of common priority to all ICG/TWSs.

The Executive Secretary will introduce this item. He will recall the strategic framework provided by the IOC Medium-Term Strategy for 2008–2013 and will call the attention of the Executive Council to the need to ensure a seamless link between it and the UNESCO Medium-Term Strategy (34 C/4) and Programme and Budget for 2010–2011 (35 C/5). In the light of the above, the IOC Programme and Budget for 2010–2011 should be organized so as to contribute to the outcomes of the Medium-Term Strategy for 2008–2013 through attainable and measurable results in a result-based management (RBM) framework. Therefore, it is highly desirable to determine future-oriented indications on the preparation of the Draft IOC Programme and Budget 2010–2011 to be submitted to the Assembly at its 25th Session, in 2009, and in particular on the following issues: DECISION 5.1: The Executive Council will be invited to: (i) provide guidance on the preparation of the Draft IOC Programme and Budget for 2010–2011; (ii) consider, with a view to adopting, Draft Resolution EC-XLI.(5.1).

The Executive Secretary will introduce this item. He will inform the Executive Council of the key achievements and challenges in the implementation of the Commission’s Programme of Work and Budget in 2007–2008. At the 34th General Conference of UNESCO (Paris, 16 October – 3 November 2007) there was unanimously strong support for the Commission, allowing the Commission to maintain approximately the same budget allocation for the activities specified in the previous biennium, as requested by the Assembly at its 24th Session (Paris, 19–28 June 2007) through Resolution XXIV-15 (the adopted appropriation for activities for 2008–2009, inclusive of indirect programme costs, was $4,092,100, or about 5% more than for the biennium 2006–2007). The General Conference also encouraged the Director-General to look for ways to reinforce the IOC budget through an additional allocation. DECISION 3.2: The Executive Council will be invited to consider, with a view to accepting, the Executive Secretary’s Reports on Programme Implementation and on Budget Execution (2006–2007) and Budget Outline and Progress Report for 2008.

- 4.1.1 - Working Group on the Future of the IOC
The Co-chairman of the Working Group on the Future of IOC, Dr Savi Narayanan (Canada), will introduce this item. The Working Group on the Future of IOC, at its First Session (Paris, France, 19–20 February 2008) confirmed that the current IOC mandate is appropriate and that the existing IOC mandate, as stated in its Statutes (Article 2), as amended in 1999, and its current Medium-Term Strategy provide a positive starting point for assessing long-term trends that may affect the IOC and constitute a flexible institutional mechanism enabling the IOC to adapt to emerging trends in oceanography and to respond to Member States’ priorities in a timely manner. It also agreed that the future of IOC should be based on the premise that the IOC will remain, and should be reinforced, within UNESCO. The Working Group recommended that IOC should look for an enhanced role within UNESCO in terms of intersectoral cooperation, based on its strong technical expertise in ocean sciences, ocean services and capacity-development. It did not reach any consensus on options for a more independent IOC outside UNESCO. DECISION 4.1.1: The Executive Council will be invited to: (i) consider the recommendations of the IOC Working Group on the Future of IOC, as well as the short-term list of actions it adopted; (ii) submit its conclusions thereon to the Assembly for consideration at its 25th Session (2009); (iii) seek, for consideration by the Assembly, as appropriate, the necessary legal advice, including an examination of the Working Group’s recommendations by the UNESCO Office of International Standards and Legal Affairs, and by the IOC Advisory Body of Experts on the Law of the Sea (IOC/ABE-LOS) at its 9th session (2009).
