Requirements for Participation in CEOS
- CEOS Newsletter readers may wonder what the requirements are for participation
in CEOS. As specified in the Terms of Reference, there are three classifications
of participation in CEOS-member, observer, and affiliate.
Members
are those governmental organizations responsible for a civil, space-based, Earth observation program currently operating or at least in Phase B (or equivalent) of system development. Members must have a continuing activity in spaceborne Earth observations, as well as provide to the international community non-discriminatory and full access to data.
Observers
are governmental organizations that currently have a civil space-segment activity in Phase A/pre-Phase A (or equivalent) of system development or that have a significant ground-segment activitty that supports CEOS objectives. Observers may participate in CEOS Plenary and Working Group discussions, as well as have their views included in reports. Approval by observers is not required to establish CEOS consensus.
Affiliates
can be other satellite coordination groups, international scientific
bodies or intergrovernmental bodies that currently have a significant programmatic
activity supporting CEOS objectives. Affiliates may participate, as appropriate,
in the CEOS Plenary and Working Group meetings, as well as have their views
included in reports. Approval by affiliates is not required to establish
CEOS consensus.
Consensus of current members is required to add new members, observers,
or affiliates. Requests for membership from agencies that qualify should
be addressed to the Chairperson of the next scheduled CEOS Plenary session.Observers
and affiliates are invited by consensus of members.
Change of Status:
It is the responsibility of each member, observer, and affiliate to
inform the CEOS Chairperson of a change in its status or eligibility to
participate. If an organization's status changes, CEOS members will review
the matter and determine by consensus whether the organization continues
to be eligible to participate.
