In support of the Climate Services Partnership, the working group was formed at the International Conference on Climate Services in New York in October 2012. The meeting will have the goal of updating working group members on the work program and next steps leading up to the Second International Conference on Climate Services in Berlin in September 2012. The working group previously met at the American Meteorologic Society meeting in New Orleans. Although the primary participants will be working group members, we welcome guests who are interested in the topic
