The agenda of the meeting will be based on the abstract received. Again, every task team are encourage to push proposals to the meeting workshop and training sessions.

Join statement to explain how OG, UG2 an EuroGOOS GTT worked together.

Work on a text of a join statement between Glider communities

Rational The glider communities are facing the difficulty to understand the complementarity and role of the different international or national glider groups. OceanGliders, EGO, UG2, EuroGOOS Glider Task Team should work together to deliver a join statement establishing the role and goal of each entity.

What would be a good international meeting pace?

Rational: Regional glider communities and international glider community should meet without competing eachother. Coordination is needed to facilitate planning and share work load 18 months is a good pace to gather community around a particular topic but too frequent to share scientific results 3 years is good for sciences as real progress has been made, but too long for community and capacity building. The steering team agree on more frequent working meeting, less frequent science meeting
