    The Meeting of the Global Record Specialized Core Working Groups (GRCGs) was held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 30 September to 2 October 2015. The GRCGs were created to deal with specific technical issues, upon request of the Global Record Informal Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group (GRWG) at its first meeting in February 2015. At this first meeting of the GRCGs, experts in the areas of data requirements, data exchange and third party data gathered to advance the discuss ions and work started earlier in 2015, through the virtual workspace. During this meeting the experts completed the first round of discussions and agreed on: i) the data fields required for each information module of the Global Record, their inclusion level, data types and related reference lists (the result can be consulted in Appendix B, Resulting Information Modules); ii) the third party data providers that would enhance the Global Record system; iii) the data formats and data transmission me chanisms for the submission of data, and iv) the need for capacity development to support Members in participating in the Global Record. The conclusions are to be put forward to the GRWG at its next meeting. Work in the three areas is ongoing, with some issues pending further discussion and others, such as the role of IHS Maritime & Trade as a possible third party data provider, to be further considered by the GRWG.
