The preliminary list of tasks of the CO for the daily coordination and management of GGOS activities includes communications and information transfer among the GGOS entities; maintaining documentation, address lists, and data bases; preparation and documentation of meetings; maintaining the GGOS website; and handling routine GGOS correspondence. The Office will maintain an overview of internal and external GGOS users, support GGOS outreach activities, and support the GGOS Working Group on GEO. Several organizations may cooperate in this activity, but one organization must be identified as the lead. Proposers must provide their own financial resources in carrying out their proposed duties. The proposal should clearly address the services and capabilities being offered by the institution (or institutions), its (their) financial ability to carry them out, and appropriate points of contact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Prof. Dr. phil. nat.
