Action Item ST2-T5-3: Hans-Peter Plag will provide further clarification of the discussion around Activity 4.3 at the STC-16 in Sydney. Responsible: Hans-Peter Plag, Deadline: 2011-05-25.

Status of Action Item ST2-T5-3: Open.
Report: During STC-16, Hans-Peter Plag again raised the question of how candidate activities for a transition from research to operational could be promoted in GEO. He motivates the question by the fact that Activity 4.3 of ST-09-02 is aiming at the identification of such candidates. However, this activity only makes sense if there is a process to promote such candidates after a thorough assessment withing in GEO. The STC made clear that the STC cannot promote such candidates, e.g. in the GEO Plenary. Since ST-09-02 has not direct link to the GEO Plenary, the ST-09-02 Task team should consider to develop its own promotion for activities that are considered of long-term importance. Such promotion could be through leaflets distributed at GEO Plenary meetings and Ministerial Summits, through publications, and through other means to be developed. Letters to GEO principals should also be considered. Reported on 2011-05-29 by Hans-Peter Plag.
