Dear Permanent Representatives of Members in RA II with WMO
In line with my policy of consulting Members on issues related to RA II and to
WMO at large, I would like to share with you the following on the issue of WMO
Reform.
1. The WMO Constituent Body Reform Task Force (CBR-TF), chaired by Professor
Gerhard Adrian (Germany) was established by EC-70; Dr. Toshihiko Hashida,
Director-General of JMA, is a member of that Task Force. The role of CBR-TF
is to shape the proposal of the reform recommended by EC and socialize it
with all stakeholders.
2. A dedicated website about the reform was established at:
https://public.wmo.int/en/governance-reform, which includes Executive
Council decisions and a communication video; a transition plan and a change
management plan are being drafted by the Secretariat. Useful information on
the topic can be found in this website.
3. WMO SG recently delivered a presentation on Constituent Body Reform which
can be used to shed more light on the proposed process (see Documents tab,
please).
4. In order to reflect your own views and voice your concerns, if any, on the
proposed reform you are invited to share these views with Dr Hashida and
with me (iao-jma@met.kishou.go.jp) and (Amandoos@ncms.ae). I will work with
Hashida-san to assure the all concerns and questions of RA II Members are
addressed in the final discussions of the Reform.
5. During the upcoming Congress we will organize a meeting for RA II to discuss
this issue, among others. Until then, I would like to invite you to,
seriously, consider the various aspects of the proposed reform and to share
your views with Dr. Hashida and me.
Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
Yours Sincerely,
Abdulla Ahmed Al Mandous
President, Regional Association II (Asia)
