COOP Membership

 

As the initial strategic design plans for the Living Marine Resources (LMR), Health of the Ocean (HOTO) and Coastal Seas (C-GOOS) Panels were completed at the end of 2000 the GOOS Steering Committee (GSC) had determined that the HOTO, LMR and C-GOOS efforts would be merged into one design panel (COOP). COOP will formulate an integrated design plan for all aspects of coastal seas based on the LMR, HOTO and C-GOOS design plans and then develop an implementation plan.  The merger of the three panels was built into the development of GOOS almost from the start and is summarized in the GOOS 1998 Prospectus

COOP is a descendant of the LMR, HOTO and C-GOOS panels and has status as a design panel under the GSC to which it reports. COOP is sponsored by the IOC, WMO, UNEP and ICSU . In forming the COOP there was never any intention to create one vast panel by combining all of the existing members of all three panels into the merged panel, nor was any such plan revealed to the Executive Council. Such a panel would have been unmanageable and ineffective.  

The criteria for selecting members of the COOP were outlined in the report on GOOS to the thirty-third IOC Executive Council by the  Director of the GOOS Project Office (GPO). The co-chairs of the COOP, with help from  Brazil, China, India, Japan, the Russian Federation, WMO and the GPO, developed a list of names for the merged panel, with due attention to (i) continuity; (ii) skills and experience to address the topical areas required ; (iii) an appropriate mix of academic and operational people; and (iv) appropriate geographical balance. The list of potential panel members were then circulated to the COOP sponsors for their approval. 

To ensure continuity, the core of the merged committee is made up of people from the three original committees, and the two co-chairs are respectively ex-chairs of the Coastal GOOS and HOTO Panels.
