Membership
The members of the GGOS Science Panel are delegates from the IAG Commissions, ICCs and Projects and from the GGOS Focus Areas. Members-at-large may also be nominated when specific scientific topics not covered by the IAG are to be discussed. Membership of the GGOS Science Panel follows the usual four-year term. Renewal of this membership takes place during the IUGG General Assemblies.
Appointment
Each IAG Commission, ICC and Project is invited to nominate two delegates to the GGOS Science Panel. Each GGOS Focus Area is invited to nominate one delegate to the GGOS Science Panel. Delegates appointed to the GGOS Science Panel as representatives of the IAG Commissions, ICCs, Projects or GGOS Focus Areas must be internationally recognized scientists who are experts in the topics they represent. All nominated delegates must be approved by the GGOS Governing Board. The GGOS Governing Board may appoint additional at-large members to the GGOS Science Panel to cover scientific topics not covered by the IAG.
After a four-year term, it is at the discretion of each IAG component and GGOS Focus Area to renew its representation with the same delegate(s) or to nominate a different colleague(s). In the event that a representative is unable to participate in the duties of the GGOS Science Panel (due to illness, retirement, change of affiliation, etc.), the GGOS President, with the support of the GGOS Coordinating Office, shall request a new appointment (replacement) from the respective IAG component or Focus Area.
The immediate past Chair of the GGOS Science Panel is a Member of the GGOS Science Panel.
The GGOS Science Panel elects its own Chair, who is approved by the GGOS Governing Board. The GGOS Science Panel Chair is appointed for a period of four years, renewable once.
