2. Report from related ETs and TTs

WW: Final version of updated manual has been prepared (High quality Global Data Management Framework for Climate)

WW: One recommendation is to include / update description of mechanism for updating manuals and guides. This used to exist for CBS but needs updating following reform. DB noted ongoing discussion in Infrastructure department to forward more info to WW. HH expects that this will be the same process but with updated names of commissions.

WW within CBS there were various diagrams showing reporting lines. This will have to change with updated commissions.

HH first step to share the document (IM guide) with some experts for review.

GP question on timeline, when do we need draft ready. DB InfCom meeting scheduled for November so we want to aim for final version by late June or early July noting the Northern summer break.
