Under the framework each NMHS would be responsible for meeting the operational costs for the required AMDAR profile data produced within their country or region and would contribute toward meeting the costs of en-route data. However, mechanisms and funding strategies for capacity development and operational support will also be put in place to ensure that Least Developed Countries (LDC) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) could readily contribute to and benefit from the programme. Commercialisation of the data to 3rd parties, beyond its provision to meet the requirements of WMO Members for their meteorological applications, would be undertaken by IATA only and would be used to offset the costs of the operation of the programme and remunerate airlines for the costs associated with data provision. WMO Business Relationships with Airlines as AMDAR Data Providers Business relationships of separate NMHSs, with airlines as data providers, have evolved historically within the current AMDAR Programme, through interactions between entities of both parties. This has resulted in heterogeneous business relationships and data provision across the globe. A more uniform approach to business relationships in the operation of the programme would be expected to result in improved and more efficient programme development and operation a greater willingness for airlines to participate and a greater willingness and capacity for NMHSs to pay for AMDAR data. It is proposed to create and maintain a formal partnership between the airlines (represented by IATA) and the NMHSs (represented by the WMO). IATA and WMO will join together to establish a governance framework, wherein each partner will have well-defined, complementary roles and will work with the other partner on common processes and Programme issues. Under the IWCAP, both IATA and WMO would contribute to the membership of the Governing Board and the Management Unit. These entities would define and oversee the functions and roles of a resourced Implementation and Operations Team, which would be primarily responsible for the programme’s execution. Additionally both organizations would contribute to the establishment of ad hoc tasks teams to undertake well defined activities and tasks in support of the programme and continue to provide leadership and expertise to the programme through and from within their respective existing organizational bodies and supporting technical programmes. Data Ownership, Management and Security Data ownership and licensing are critical issues for the due to the requirement to ensure the security of AMDAR data as the property of the participating airlines and the cost to airlines for their provision.. The collaboration will establish the principles underlying a more uniform data ownership and licensing policy, together with policies and strategy for data management and security.
