In sections 3.5.2, 3.5.3, and 3.5.4 of the WIS 1 manual it mentions the GISC area of responsibility.
How is this definition expected to be implemented in a public-cloud based scenario?
If I remember correctly, we had agreed that there would not be any access control, and that everything on the cloud is publicly available.

Paul had mentioned that v5 should prove "beyond any doubt" that it fulfills all requirements. In section 2.2.4.1 of the WIS 1 manual it states the following:

The Member offering a GISC shall demonstrate to CBS the capabilities of the proposed centre to provide WIS services of the requisite reliability and quality to accredited users. Compliance shall be demonstrated for:
(a) Real-time functions of data and product collection and dissemination;
(b) Non-real-time services for requests;
(c) Storage functions for the required set of data and products and relevant up-to-date metadata catalogues;
(d) Coordination functions with other GISCs and the planning of mutual back-up services;
(e) Adherence to WIS standards and relevant data-exchange policies and access rights.

Is the demonstration of the above enough to force acceptance of v5 or are there other constraints?

In section 1.6 of the WIS1 manual it mentions:

Highly robust and reliable WIS components are essential to the operation of WIS. Performance indicators shall be evaluated in the designation procedure for WIS centres. This evaluation shall ascertain, among other things, whether or not data content flowing via WIS network technologies fully satisfies requirements for security, authenticity and reliability. Some aspects of service levels are identified in this Manual.

Are there other aspects on service levels we should be aware of?

Many FRs are applied to all of NCs, DPCPs, and GISCs.
Is there something that differentiates how their implementation should happen?
Are they expected to behave differently?
For example, requirement 3.6.2 (Collect information from a DCPC area) is part of both NCs and DCPCs.
Should it be implemented differently? Maybe different UI? (It doesn't matter how minor the difference is)
If yes, are there any instructions for that?

The following statement exists in section 1.3 of the WIS manual. Do the networks mentioned support the idea of "public cloud"?

GlSCs shall connect to other GISCs through the WIS Core Network, which is based on the Main Telecommunication Network (MTN). Data, products and metadata shall flow to a GISC from the DCPCs and NCs that are within its area of responsibility. An Area Meteorological Data Communication Network (AMDCN) shall connect each GISC to DCPCs and NCs in the GISC area of responsibility. An AMDCN may span multiple Regional Meteorological Telecommunication Networks (RMTNs) and parts thereof.

WIS-TECHSPEC-9
4.10.1 GISCs should exchange metadata catalogue updates using version 2 of the Open Archives Initiative–Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
1 ) Is there any indication if any other protocol than OAI-PMH will be used at v5?
2) Is there any update for this issue at WIS . draft specs ?

What is a "sub-part"?
