Enrico informed that the 26th of January 2024 is the deadline for the submission of the documents to INFCOM-3 (Action): Hassan to send an email to all the ET-W2AT meeting participants in Washington to review the list and provide proposals before the meeting |
2 | Merge of the country and Center-ID |  | Remy presented the proposal (https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy/files/13074092/wis2-topic-hierarchy.pdf) from the WIS metadata team related to the merge of the country and center-ID in the topic hierarchy merge country and centre-id · Issue #58 · wmo-im/wis2-topic-hierarchy (github.com). He indicated that the idea is to remove country and define the centre-id on reverse hostname notation (starting with TLD) into a single compound level. Maaike highlighted that for the wis2box implementations a new release is required to integrate this changes in the Topic Hierarchy (TH) Kai and Kenji agreed with the proposal but need to discuss with the development team to agree on the timeline for the implementation of this upgrade Enrico, indicated that not only wis2box that are concerned, but also the custom implementations and some of commercial solutions Remy, confirmed for Global Broker, in particular the France one, it will not be a problem to process the new TH. and asks about the ECMWF that can be ready in few weeks, shall we ask them to use the old or new TH. Enrico, advised to wait until to have all the changes ready and ask for upgrade, if more changes are expected Remy, mentioned that, mainly it will be only this one Anna, INFCOM-3 is going to approve the guide to WIS and then we will have the final version approved of TH Remy, INFCOM-3 will not change the structure of the TH, it will approve what we propose. (Rémy) expresses the concerns about potential delays if we wait for the INFCOM-3 approval. Remy, propose to start the new TH for ECMWF and for the Caribbean WIS2 node and asked Kai and Kenji if it’s not a problem for the cache
Kai expressed to add the implementation of the new TH as mandator for the pre-operational phase.
(Action) Remy to send an email to the Global Caches asking them their plan for the transition |

 Action items
 Decisions
- To determine a communication mechanism with all the wis2node operators about the change of Topic Hierarchy (merge country and centre-id)
- Agrees the proposed transition plan, ensuring each Global Cache only needs to support one system during the transition period. (Cache A is ready for transition as soon as possible; Cache B or C stays the same as the current system until the last wis2node migrates)
