Organizational Framework

The Organisational framework of the WIS project was set up by Resolution 2 of EC56 in 2004 with the formation of the Inter-Commission Coordination Group for WIS (ICG/WIS) to coordinate WIS activities across WMO programmes. The Structure within WMO Secretariat supports this principal framework.
