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.
