IWC Secretariat
IWC
The Committee agreed the financial support of SC databases requires a robust, long-term approach and encouraged GDR to work with the Secretariat and SC Chair to propose a more appropriate funding model at SC68D. It also supported the submission of a funding proposal from the Secretariat to facilitate this work in the interim.This paper aims to summarise the current status, highlight issues and stimulate discussions on establishing a more holistic approach to the capture, management and dissemination of data within the IWC.
