(Anna) brief reivew of recent approvals during EC-76 and Cg-19 and the FT2024-1 schedule: https://github.com/wmo-im/wmo-im.github.io/wiki/Fast-Track-Schedules (see action 1)
The team briefly reviewed legacy issues on the project board;
- https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/114 and https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/143 for space based codes; (John Eyre) has talked with Heikki about this and they have a very complete and mature list and they should provide it to this team; (see action 2)
- https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/146; for inner earth, e.g. earth quakes; (John) not aware of WMO communities that address geologic data specifically
- Relative humidity - https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/292: (Gao) I think this is important
- organization of hydro codes - https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/420 (Johanna) there is a group of people looking at the codes, but there is no decision on who can be on this TT-WIGOSMD team yet; (Joerg) Can we assign this issue to Johanna? (Johanna) Prefer to engage with real experts, not just Secretariats
issues related to organization of codes - https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues/173, https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues/464, https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues/255

The team briefly reviewed new WMDS issue
- Consistent capitalisation https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues//506 -- assign to Lara
The team briefly reviewed issues in discussion
- Lightning - https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues/391 (see action 3)
- application areas - https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues/438;
- cloud variable definitions - https://github.com/wmo-im/wmdr/issues/443; discussions about not superseding the code if the name has the meaning; need to consult with experts;
WMDR2 Roadmap
- (Joerg) had a conversation with Anna and Tom about how to move this forward and meeting again today; (Anna) briefly talked about a draft presentation on the pros/cons for different options as well as listing issues and need to determine if it's a minor or major change (Joerg)agreed, most of this doesn't change the standard (WMO-No. 1192), it's the representation that changes; (Gao) I recommend grouping some of the content issues into broader categories, e.g. variable changes; (Anna) wasn't sure how to differentiate the codes effort from the record representation;
Variable spreadsheet -
- (Lara) did some research and provided a couple links for the next discussion (https://github.com/i-adopt/patterns/tree/main and https://vocabs.lter-europe.net/envthes/en/page/10351); (Joerg) suggested that the spreadsheet is split into common concepts
