• A draft IICWG Training Page (http//140.90.54.53/
  iicwg_training/training/) posts Ice Analyst and
  Forecaster requirements from CIS and the Ice
  Analyst Qualification document from the NIC. Mr.
  Seymour proposes that the committee develop a set
  of virtual requirements for Ice Analysts similar
  to what we are doing for sea ice mapping systems.
  When we have a list of requirements that everyone
  supports, we can then start to address them with
  best practices.
• IICWG-6 Training should be taken into account in
  the strategic planning group.
