Task Team on the Development of Review Process of Designated GDPFS Centre Compliance (November 2021, Online)

As decided by the Congress through Resolution 6 (Cg-XVI) - REVISED MANUAL ON THE GLOBAL DATA-PROCESSING AND FORECASTING SYSTEM (WMO-No. 485) at its 16th Session (2011), the Manual on Global Data-processing and Forecasting System (GDPFS) (WMO-No.485) has been thoroughly revised taking into account the quality management principles, which would ensure quality assurance and management measures for the GDPFS, as well as its sustainability as part of the WMO Quality Management Framework (QMF).​

When the revised Manual on GDPFS (WMO-No.485) was adopted by the Executive Council (EC) through Resolution 18 (EC-69) at its 69th Session (2017), the EC requested the Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) to develop performance requirements for monitoring GDPFS Centres for inclusion in the Manual and the Guide on the GDPFS and also to arrange for and maintain a rolling review of compliance of GDPFS Centres with the revised Manual.​

The Task Team on the Development of Review Process of Designated GDPFS Centre Compliance (TT-COMPLIANCE) has been established to address this request.

The final meeting report is available here.
