Management of Task. After the initial workshop, the Operating Agent will refine the planning and the contents of the activities and will re-define an action list and the milestones of the project. Intermediate workshops and meetings will be scheduled in order to discuss with the Participant the progress of the subtasks (see time schedule in Section 5, Table 2). The communication of intermediate results will take place through progress and technical reports that will be distributed to all Participants. The data-exchange among Participants will be coordinated within Subtask IV. In the initial workshop the Participants will discuss what types of data are requested by the other subtasks. Also, the amount of data available will be estimated and possible solutions for the data- management will be proposed. A consortium agreement will be established to facilitate the exchange of confidential or proprietary data among the Participants.
Management of Task. We envisage biannual meetings in connection with the two major workshops in the field, the US Utility Variable generation Interest Group (UVIG) Forecasting Workshops (typically in February or March) and the EWEA Technology Workshop on Wind Power Forecasting, every other year in autumn in Europe. In between, an online meeting would keep track of the progress. Also for the actual meeting, an online meeting facility should be enabled. In the years where there is no EWEA Forecasting Workshop, an alternative meeting point could be the Wind Integration Workshop also usually held in October or the EWEA Annual Event. The main form of communication in the group will be via email, and via personal contacts during various conferences including the biannual meetings. The US government has already funded setting up and participation in the Task, so the US participants do not require separate funding from the Operating Agent budget.
Management of Task. We envisage annual face-to-face meetings, often in connection with our own workshops or major workshops or conferences in the field, such as the US Energy System Integration Group (ESIG) Meteorology and Market Design for Grid Services Workshop, the Wind Energy Science Conference, the International Conference on Energy Meteorology, the Wind Integration Workshop or the WindEurope Conference and Exhibition. In between, an online meeting would keep track of the progress. Likewise, for the face-to-face meeting, an online meeting facility will be enabled. Both meetings will be recorded and distributed to Task members. The main form of communication in the group will be via email, and via personal contacts during various conferences including the annual meetings. The group of WP leaders plus the (co-)Operating Agent will meet more frequently online to discuss matters of Task management and direction, typically in preparation of the general meetings or the ExCo reporting.

Other conferences to attach the Task meeting to are the Wind Integration Workshop also usually held in October, the WindEurope Conference & Exhibition, the Wind Energy Science Conference, The Science of Making Torque from Wind or the International Conference on Energy Meteorology (e.g. the one June 2019 near Copenhagen). The main form of communication in the group will be via email, and via personal contacts during various conferences including the biannual meetings. The group of WP leaders plus the (co-)Operating Agent will meet ad-hoc online to discuss matters of Task management and direction, typically in preparation of the physical meetings.
