<h5>New workflow for ECV inventory updaes</h5>
The WGClimate has recently agreed a simplified process for the update of the Inventory to reduce the workload needed for publishing an update, namely:
<ul>
<li>Agency focal points nominated by WGClimate provide access points for information to EUMETSAT, e.g., central hub pages such as the Copernicus Climate Data Store. </li>
<li>Agency focal points (Agency focal points are representatives from various agencies) nominated by WGClimate to provide access points for information to EUMETSAT, e.g., central hub pages such as the Copernicus Climate Data Store. </li>
<li>EUMETSAT derives the actual information and updates the Inventory. </li>
<li>EUMETSAT provides the updated information to be published for verification to the Focal Points for review </li>
<li>Agency focal points provide corrections (if any) and may fill gaps</li>

<h5>Difference between the two workflows:</h5>
<ul>
<li>The two workflows for ECV inventory updates are quite similar. In both workflows, the CEOS/CGMS Working Group on Climate (WGClimate) is responsible for identifying ECVs that need to be updated. In the first workflow, the WGClimate sends a request for information (RFI) to data providers and other relevant stakeholders. In the second workflow, the WGClimate has appointed Agency focal points to provide access points for information to EUMETSAT, e.g., central hub pages such as the Copernicus Climate Data Store.</li>
<li>In both workflows, EUMETSAT updates the ECV Inventory. However, in the second workflow, EUMETSAT provides the updated information to the Focal Points for review, while in the first workflow, EUMETSAT provides the updated version to the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) for review.</li>
<li>The main difference between the two workflows is that the second workflow is more streamlined and less burdensome on data providers. This is because the Focal Points can provide EUMETSAT with the necessary information directly, without the need for a formal RFI. This can help to reduce the time it takes to update the ECV Inventory.</li>
