IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REORGANISED STRUCTURE OF THE WORKING GROUPS OF THE HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICES AND STANDARDS COMMITTEE (HSSC) References: A. IHO CL 39/2014 dated 21 May - Re-structuring of the Working Groups of the Hydrographic Services and Standards Committee (HSSC) B. IHO CL 76/2014 dated 28 November - Re-structuring of the Working Groups of the Hydrographic Services and Standards Committee (HSSC) C. IHO CL 7/2015 dated 17 January – Outcome of the Sixth Meeting of the Hydrographic Services and Standards Committee (HSSC) Dear Hydrographer, 1. The purpose of this Circular Letter is to report on the implementation of the reorganised structure of the Workings Groups of the Hydrographic Services and Standards Committee (HSSC) adopted at HSSC-6, as announced in References B and C. This reorganised structure includes the following four new Working Groups (WG) which replace previously existing working groups: - S-100 Working Group (S-100WG) - ENC Standards Maintenance Working Group (ENCWG) - Nautical Information Provision Working Group (NIPWG) - Tides, Water Level and Currents Working Group (TWCWG) 2. Reference B requested IHO Member States to designate their representatives for the new Working Groups and to consider nominating candidates as office bearers (Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary) in order to assist the transition coordinators in preparing the first meetings of these new groups. 3. The Directing Committee would like to thank the following 29 Member States that replied to Reference B: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea (Republic of), Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK, Ukraine and USA. Almost all Member States that had indicated their initial intention to participate in the new Working Groups, in response to Reference A, confirmed their involvement. 4. Based on the outcome of the consultation, the new S-100WG and ENCWG were constituted at the joint TSMAD-DIPWG/S-100WG-ENCWG meeting which took place in Ottawa, Canada, from 2 to 6 February and their Officers were appointed in accordance with the Terms of Reference. The composition of the two Working Groups is provided in Annexes A and B respectively. 5. The provisional membership of the TWCWG is provided in Annex C. The transition meeting from the former Tidal and Water Level Working Group (TWLWG) to the new TWCWG will take place in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, from 21 to 24 April. The implementation of the new Working Group is being coordinated by Ms Gwenaële Jan, current Chair of the TWLWG. 6. The provisional membership of the NIPWG is provided in Annex D. The first meeting of this new WG will take place in Monaco from 15 to 19 June. The implementation of this new Working Group is being coordinated by Mr Jens Schroeder-Fuerstenberg, Chair of the former Standardization of Nautical Publications Working Group (SNPWG). 7. Annexes A to D show that the new WGs will be supported by a significant number of active members (participating in meetings) and corresponding members (point of contacts). The status of the appointment of office bearers for the new WGs (Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary) is as follows: - S-100WG: all office bearers have been appointed; - ENCWG: the positions of Vice-Chair and Secretary not yet filled. The IHB representative will assume the function of Secretary in the absence of any nomination from the membership; - NIPWG: there are two nominations for the position of Chair, but no nomination, so far, for the positions of Vice-Chair and Secretary; - TWCWG: there is one nomination for the position of Chair and two nominations for the position of Vice-Chair functions but no nomination, so far, for the position of Secretary. 8. Additional nominations for the positions of office bearers of the NIPWG and TWCWG are welcome at any time prior to the first meeting of the new Working Groups. 9. The reorganised HSSC WG structure will be reflected on the IHO website as soon as possible (See: www.iho.int > Committees & WG > HSSC). All documents and references relating to the former HSSC WG structure will remain available through appropriate hyperlinks. 10. Any changes to the nominated representatives in the Working Groups should be reported to the Chair of the relevant Working Group, or to the transition coordinator as appropriate, with a copy to the Secretary, if applicable, and/or to the IHB.
