Membership

Membership of the MIP may be as Full Members or Associate Members.

Only nations are eligible to become Full Members of the MIP.

Full Members are nations that commit to support the collaborative development of succeeding versions of the MIP interoperability solution suitable for fielding. To be a Full Member, a nation must agree to meet the requirements listed in the MIP Programme Management Plan. In addition a Full Member must express an intention to field the MIP solution.

Full Members undertake to be represented in all WGs and must be prepared to expend the resources required. Full Members have voting and access rights at all meetings.

Associate Members include nations and non-nation entities showing an interest in this programme that have been granted Associate Member status by the MSG. Associate Members are entitled to have the same rights and privileges as Full Members but do not have the right to vote on decisions within the Programme.

Application

The official request to become a member shall be made by formal written proposal that must be endorsed by a current MIP Full Member.

This Full Member becomes the sponsoring member and assumes the responsibility for forwarding the endorsed application to all other Full Member MSG HoDs.

The application must include a statement on the status of involvement in a C2IS, the nature of interest in the MIP, and an agreement to abide by MSG/PMG decisions.

The PMG as an empowered body will, at the next available opportunity consider the application for membership as presented by the sponsoring member. On unanimous agreement, the PMG will issue direction to the host member to extend an invitation to the applicant to attend the next MSG.

MIP & NATO

NATO Force Goal (L2802 & G2870) calls for the implementation of the MIP solution.

NATO Standardisation Agreement SO 01-11 calls for the implementation of MIP (ATCCIS) specifications.

The JC3IEDM is already the STANAG 5525 currently under ratification. The NATO Corporate Data Model (STANAG 5523 / ADatP-32) does not exist any longer.
*STANAG (Standard Agreement)

MIP liaises with NATO, and NATO has a Policy on MIP that allows MIP to easily conveys its specifications into NATO.

The MIP specification is included in the NATO C3 Technical Architecture.

The NATO Military Criteria for High Readiness Forces (Land) Headquarters requires the use of an MIP (ATCCIS) conformant land information system.

Many national C2 information systems implement MIP specifications.

The Bi-SC Automated Information System will use the MIP solution in its Land Functional Services to interface to national C2IS, either in HRF/LRF, CJTF or other crisis response operation or exercise.

Membership & Decision Procedures.

Actually the CCWG's members are the same of the PMG. The PMG forms the Configuration and Control WG to deal with Configuration Management issues as established in the MCMP. It meets as required in the course of normal WG sessions.

All PMG decisions are by the unanimous agreement of the Full Member HoDs. The PMG directs the WGs, who in turn report back at each PMG meeting. The PMG approves the Action Item and Decision List of its meetings.

Top

Meetings & Host Nation.

The CCWG normally meets four times a year, concurrently with the other MIP WGs. Other meetings may be called at the request of any Member of the CCWG in accordance with the procedures established in the MPMP.

PMG meets four times a year for two weeks currently. Germany is the Host Nation and the WTD 81 facilities located in Greding, lets MIP PMG and WGs get together.

Chairmanship.

The MSG will designate a member to provide the Chairman for the CCWG following a review of nominations. Following the designation of a Chairman, the MSG will designate a Deputy Chairman from a different Nation. If a member is unable to provide a chairman, the MSG will ask another member to provide one.
