The Committee instructed the Secretariat to contact the IOC focal points of IOC Member States that have not established NODC or ADU and invite them to consider establishing such as facility, and to offer to meet with the contact to discuss in more detail. Expanding the network requires an understanding the challenges interested member states are facing in terms of resourcing, national buy-in, etc. If the representative is interested but not in a position to participate through full NODCs/ADUs, IODE should work with the member state in an outreach capacity, working with the member state to seek opportunities to participate in a sustainable way, possibly through partnership with other regions, etc. It is strongly recommended that the NODC and ADU Community Surveys be used as a supporting resource in this work.

The Committee requested the Secretariat to contact each of the 21 NODCs/ADUs who state in the NODC survey that they will implement the IODE QMF accreditation process during the next inter-sessional period and ask how they are progressing and do they require any assistance. It would be good to use the information from NODCs/ADUs that we already have. This could be extended to asking those who attended the training course last October. It was proposed that the QMF Steering Group undertakes this follow-up task
