All, <br>
I have been monitoring the discussion and have decided to vote NO.
Although there are numerous difficulties with the current set up, I
think we need to listen to the concerns raised by the communities
that use the codes we are managing. There needs to be more
discussion about how to come to some reasonable accommodation for
both the code managers and the communities that we are trying to
support.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">ICES has been assigning codes for JCOMMOP
vessels for the past 4 months. This has given us the
opportunity to test and re-evaluate the effectiveness of the
Platform code system now that the predominant platform class
has moved from research vessels to ships of opportunity. We
are finding that these vessels are changing name, flag, and
owner much more often than research vessels and according to
the current Platform Decision Tree, some vessels will need 5-6
codes in their data collecting lifetime. We believe that this
is an unnecessary complication, especially for vessels which
have IMO numbers since IMO numbers never change and can be
used for tracking.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">When ICES first started assigning platform
codes, the majority of codes were for research vessels which
were collecting nationally funded monitoring data or project
data. The system was based on the assumption that these
national data were collected by their national vessels so the
first two digits of the codes designated country.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ICES then became part of the SeaDataNet
project, new attributes were added and a decision tree was
developed to determine what was needed to assign a code. The
decision tree was accepted by the SeaDataNet Platform
Governance Group after many discussions:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In preparation for running out of codes and
removing semantics from codes, in March 2010 it was decided by
the platform group that the country part of the code could be
abandoned and the codes extended although in practice we have
continued to use the country as the first two digits of the
four digit code. <span

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2015, additional changes were made to
accommodate JCOMMOPs vessels. It was decided that the codes
would be extended to 6 digits once the current 4 digit system
ran out of codes for a particular country, additional
attributes were added and the possibility to add multiple
countries was incorporated into the request program. Almost
2000 platforms have since been requested by JCOMMOPs of which
98% are Vessels of Opportunity. This has changed the
predominant platform class of the platform code system. <o:p></o:p></p>
