The ACDP draws up, for submission to Council, opinions and recommendations on matters concerning ECMWF Data Policy and its implementation. It reviews the opinions and recommendations coming from the Catalogue Contact Point Workshop and other similar bodies.
The Council at its 110th Session unanimously transitioned the ACDP to an ad-hoc committee, convening only at the request of the Council to address topics requiring specific expertise. In line with the approach used for sub-groups, Member and Co-operating States will be invited on an ad-hoc basis to nominate relevant experts as needed. The ACDP will have no permanent chair or members.
