The Global Geodetic Observing System

The Steering Committee

The Steering Committee (SC) is the main decision making body of the GGOS. In the SC all components of GGOS, that is, the IAG Services, the IAG Commissions, the GGOS Working Groups are represented in the SC. Moreover, the IAG representatives to GEO and to the GEO Committees and WGs, as well as members at large complete the SC.

The SC meets about three times a year and currently facilitates the development of the GGOS vision and structure and the implementation of GGOS.

The SC works closely with the Executive Committee (EC), which is responsible for the execution of a workplan decided upon by the SC.

The formal composition of the SC was decided during the Third Meeting of the SC, and the members in terms of persons were identified subsequently. The current membership can be viewed here.
