Deadline for comments from VMS SWG participants on update paper (issued 16 March 2021)

Paper sent by email to VMS SWG participants (and posted to https://www.wcpfc.int/2020_vms-swg)

Intention is for the VMS SWG to continue its work remotely via email in the lead up to TCC17, and submit specific recommendations to TCC17 regarding preferred steps to addressing any VMS data gaps in the Commission.

Where possible, if participants could provide specific input regarding the proposed approaches outlined in the paper (i.e. final column of each table) that would be appreciated. Also, you will note that we are seeking your specific input on your experience with the Vessel Reporting Status Tool (VRST) under Issue 3 (e.g. agree with suggestions, have any additional suggestions, or have any concerns).
