According to these new ToR, the following new components of GGOS are 
going to be established:

- GGOS Coordination Office and GGOS Portal
- Bureau for Networks and Communication
- Bureau for Standards and Conventions
- Bureau for Satellite Missions

Please visit the GGOS website at 
http://ggos.gfz-potsdam.de/ggos/index.php?id=20 where you will find the 
Calls for Proposals (CfP) for these new components.

The deadline for submitting your proposal is

        October 15, 2008.

More details are given in the documents themselves.
Please consider this unique opportunity to contribute with your 
institution, possibly in cooperation with other institutions, to these 
important activities of GGOS.

Looking forward to your proposals,
with best regards,

                                Markus Rothacher
