Project forums for correspondence groups are set up in a third-party site called Basecamp, from which you will receive an invitation to set up an account.
Details will be provided to all CWG leaders on how to arrange conference calls.
Please contact the leader listed above to be included in the correspondence working groups.
Please note the following procedure regarding correspondence working groups:
1) At the conclusion of a CWG’s work, the leader of the CWG shall produce a summary of the work and conclusions reached by the CWG in a format based upon the JC Splinter Group Report. The content of this report shall be agreed by the CWG members.
2) In addition, the CWG leader shall also produce a draft of the relevant specification, output paper or other document which fulfills the task allocated to the CWG. The content of this document shall be agreed by the CWG members.
3) The above documents may, if required, be combined into an input paper for submission to future Cospas-Sarsat meetings where the CWG Report and output document could form Annexes to the C/S input paper.
4) Apart from the above documents no other records of the work of a CWG shall be maintained by Cospas-Sarsat once a CWG has completed its work and all communications, conversation threads and records of the CWG’s work will be deleted no sooner than one month after the completion of the CWG’s work.
