    Abstract

    Detailed responses to the consultation feedback are presented. The Secretariat proposes to make a number of changes to its existing practices, particularly around providing information to Members and providing transparency on data acquisition systems and the algorithms it uses for data validation and preparation. The Secretariat also proposes to strengthen its staffing support for Data Management issues. Finally, two projects are proposed for development in 2019, one to trial electronic reporting of catch data and one to develop a stable, documented warehouse of CCAMLR data.
