<br />001917 <br /> <br />1 - GCMRC size is controversial (small, contract management staffvs. staffto <br />accomplish substantial in-house research. Can best science be accomplished through <br />either approach? How will this be resolved? <br />Solution - Science Advisors should address which approach produces the best <br />science. Cost efficiency may be on factor to consider. <br /> <br />2 - Ne,ed to agree on split between core monitoring and research costs. <br />Solution - Current development of core monitoring program should help derme <br />what is required on the monitoring side. <br /> <br />3 - Question on what "best science" means. <br /> <br />4 - Missing feedback loop on scientific results, including monitoring results, SCORE <br />report. Technical presentations. should include more technical detail <br />Solution - GCMRC is producing reports to the AMWG/TWG, but greater detail <br />would help. Consistency of reporting among all stakeholders important, in addition <br />to greater communication of what GCMRC is doing. Recurring updates on science <br />contracts would build trust among stakeholders. Synoptic form of scientific updates <br />via email (perhaps referring to web sites) would give instant updates. <br /> <br />5 - GCMRC role in public information dissemination questioned. What protocols exist? <br />What is the role of GCMRC in the political arena? <br />Solution - No protocols currently exist. Need clarification. <br /> <br />6 ~ AMWG direction to GCMRC should be more specific <br />Solution - AMWG assignments to GCMRC should be realistic and workload should <br />be evaluated and communicated among groups at the time the assignment <br />discussion occurs. Priority list and discussion would help manage workload. <br />Recognized that GCMRC supports the Designee and the AMWG. AMWG needs to <br />meet more frequently to provide guidance. <br /> <br />7 - How should GCMRC best provide science advice to the AMP? <br />Solution - AMWG should directly ask GCMRC scientific questions about the result <br />of program actions/experiments. AMP lacks (to some degree) an implementation <br />link to incorporate knowledge. The AMP trusts GCMRC to provide good science <br />data. The group. did not feel it was getting the data it needs to evaluate impacts on <br />resources~ Need to ask the right questions in order to get information to make <br />management decisions. AMWG has the responsibility to ask the right questions. <br /> <br />Science Advisors <br /> <br />1- In the past, the Science Advisors have not communicated well enough with AMWG. <br />Solution - The various groups in the program have not interacted nor <br />communicated well enough. The recent operating protocols of the Science Advisors <br />should help resolve this issue. Implementation of these tasks needs to be <br />accomplished.
