Nominations from individuals or groups from PICES member countries should be sent with supporting documentation to the
Executive Secretary (
Sonia.Batten@pices.int) by the deadline specified in the
Call for Nominations.
The Technical Committee on Monitoring (
MONITOR) and the Technical Committee on Data Exchange (
TCODE) will evaluate
independently the documents
submitted with each nomination, and recommend some or all of the nominations for consideration by Science Board. Evaluations will include the relevance,
duration and balance of activities (ocean observation, resource monitoring, data management, etc.). If more than one nomination is considered worthy of
recognition by MONITOR or TCODE, rank preferences will be provided to Science Board by each Technical Committee. A maximum of one award will be given
each year. To keep a large pool of potential candidates, Science Board will reserve any surplus of recommendations for review in two consecutive years
and will be reactivated if nominator gives approval.
