Discussion

Rémy and Jeremy thanked all the participants that contributed to the tests.

A discussion took place regarding the hared subscription, and participants agreed to await the results of the second test of the Global Cache Saudi Arabia before deciding on whether to implement this concept in WIS 2.0.

In response to a question from Jeremy regarding JMA’s intention, Masato reported that work is ongoing to resolve the issue with plana to rerun the tests in November if all goes expected. He further confirmed that JMA accept that GC JMA to be disconnected from WIS2 if the tests failed.

Rémy noted that, in addition to the Global Cache, JMA is also operating the GTS2WIS2 Gateway. He emphasized that these two services should remain distinct and highlighted JMA's commitment to continue providing the GTS2WIS2 Gateway under all circumstances.

Regarding the USA GB certificate, Marc clarified that the USA is using a valid certificate and is not utilizing web sockets. Rémy confirmed this as well. Hassan will update the results based on this discussion.

In response to a question about the possibility of scheduling regular tests in the future, Hassan reported that Japan has submitted a request to EC-78 to develop a formal approval procedure for Global Services, which will include specifying the frequency of Global Services tests. He further added that these tests will also be used to phase out any Global Services that are not compliant with WIS 2.0.

In response to Jeremy's question regarding dashboard access, it was agreed that only Global Services and GISCs will have access to the dashboard to fulfill their roles in monitoring WIS 2.0 and supporting members within their areas of responsibility.

Before the end of the meeting a discussion has been raised on the priorities to be discussed before the ET-WISOP meeting beginning December 2024. It was agreed to cover the following topics:

• Alerting mechanism and Incident Management System

• WIS2 Topic Hierarchy

• Mechanism to support WIS 2.0 clients in filtering Tropical Hierarchy (WTH) to retrieve the specific data and products that meet their needs.
