Adoption of the agenda The proposed agenda was adopted. Working arrangements for the session Jeff Tschirley (FAO) reviewed the working arrangements for the session. Tenth sessions Review of minutes from the 10th sessions The minutes of the 10th IGOS Partners meeting (Paris, 5th June 2003) and of the 10bis IGOS Partners meeting (Colorado Springs, 20th November 2003) were adopted without comment. Review of action items from the 10th sessions The status of the action items from the P-10 and P-10bis meetings was reviewed and agreed (refer to annex A here). Regarding Action 10-9 (Co-Chairs to prepare a discussion paper by November 2003 on a strategy for emerging themes for IGOS. FAO agreed to host a workshop to further develop this topic if necessary), Jeff Tschirley (FAO) noted that, although FAO had prepared the required discussion paper, they proposed not to address this topic during the meeting due to time pressure on the agenda. FAO proposes that it be addressed at a future IGOS-P meeting, after the way forward on GEO is clearer. 2nd EO Summit and GEO progress Reports Chu Ishida (CEOS/JAXA)
