Coordinate observing networks that contribute to these EOVs by: encouraging national commitments to global observing networks, promoting common best practices and observing standards for global and national observations, promoting data sharing for global and national observations, identifying opportunities for synergistic cooperation and/or common technical support, and developing metrics of implementation. Work with partner organizations to articulate a consensus data model for the biological and ecosystem EOVs, encouraging interoperability. With respect to this, maintain close links with GEOBON. Develop a process for ongoing evaluation of the observing system, in liaison with users of the data, assessing whether information outputs (analytic and model-based) are adequate for research and societal goals, feeding back into expressed requirements. Support global ocean observing activities by involved parties, through liaison and advocacy for agreed plans. Report to GOOS SC [and other sponsor governing bodies, including GEOBON and IPBES]. The Chair of the Panel will be appointed by the GOOS SC [and partner organizations]. Members will be approved by the Chairs of the GOOS SC and other partner organizations, and serve (repeatable) two year terms. Continuation of the panel and/or adjustment of its Terms of Reference will be reviewed by its sponsors after no more than four years.

The Terms of Reference for the three panels are similar (while recognizing they are at different levels of maturity with respect to articulation of EOVs and operationalization of observing system components), however they are focussed on discrete components of the ocean system. Recognizing the imperative for synergies between and integration across Panels (and the GOOS SC), the Panel Chairs will be members of the GOOS SC.
