VOS Website – The Future
To remain effective & attract repeat visits, the website needs to regularly change content or add new content.
Open to suggestion for change and or improvements.
Links to other national VOS/PMO websites.
If ASAP becomes a Task Team of the VOSP, perhaps add ASAP as a Special Project alongside VOSClim.

Criteria for Issue

PMO-III, 23-24 March 2006, Hamburg.
Criteria for Issue
The Certificate of Appreciation is independent of any national award scheme.
The Certificate of Appreciation is independent of any program-based Certificate of Participation, e.g. VOSClim.
The Certificate of Appreciation remains the property of the ship even after de-recruitment from the program for which it was issued, unlike a Certificate of Participation.

SOT Newsletter
Medium to long-term goal of the SOT Task Team on VOS Recruitment and Programme Promotion, as a result of the demise of the Marine Observer (UKMO).
Major hurdle is finding an editor with the time to commit to the responsibility – looking for volunteers!
Desire to establish a pool of ‘newsworthy articles’ for the use by any agency producing its own newsletter.
