EXCOM Motion, June 1994 - FY95 Program Plan Approval

EXCOM endorses the FY95 Program Plan as presented with a $44.9M budget including the continued upgrade of the data management system.

Should JOI be notified by NSF of any change in the budget total for FY95, EXC OM requests JOI notify the EXCOM Chair in order that tiie full benefit of appropriate JOIDES committees advice may be utilized to evaluate the impact of any cut and to recommend appropriate responses and plan changes.

EXCOM Motion, June 1994 - Approval of the Minutes

E X C O M approves the Revised Draft Minutes of the of the January 31 - February 2,1994 Meeting in Kyoto, Japan.

REPORTS

EXCOM Motion, June 1994 - EDRC Report

E X C O M accepts the EDRC Report and tiianks the Committee and its Chair for its excellent report and constructive recommendations.

EXCOM recommends that PCOM and T A M U (following direction from JOI) evaluate the report's recommendations and implement immediately, where possible, such recommendations and to report to EXCOM on actions taken in January 1995.

LONG-RANGE PLANNING

EXCOM Motion, June 1994 - OD21 Proposal

E X C O M welcomes and strongly supports the proposed Japanese plan for scientific drilling in the 21st Century, including: construction of a riser drill ship; their expectatior>s of a substantial contribution towards scientific outfitting and operation of this ship by partner countries; and their plan to schedule the ship through a JOIDES-like structure.

However, many unresolved issues exist relating to scieritific outfitting, operation and management of the proposed Japanese drill ship. E X C O M and STA/JAMSTEC recommend that a small Working Group be convened in the near future to identify these issues and suggest mechanisms to resolve them. The WG should consist of appropriate representatives of ODP-Japan and STA/JAMSTEC, the present and hiture Chairs of PCOM and EXCOM, and the JOI ODP Director.

E X C O M recognizes that a major step in technology is required to match the need for advanced studies of Earth systems in the 21st Century.

E X C O M requests that P C O M develop the rationale and questions that would be addressed by a potential multiplatform operation, including riser drilling.

DRAFT M I N U T E S OF T H E JOINT EXCOM-ODPC M E E T I N G

Tuesday, June 28,1994 8:30 AM

— Joint Session of EXCOM and ODP CouncU —

Item A. Initial Business 1. Welcome, opening remarks and initial business

Nowell and Heinrichs reviewed the logistics of the meeting. Self-introductior\s were made around the table and the room.

a) Adoption of the Agenda

Nowell called for any additions or corrections to the Agenda. Austin asked to add an item on the PEC IV mandate to his report and to EXCOM business items. The agenda was adopted by consensus.

Item B. Membership Reports 1. United States

Malfait reviewed tiie FY 1994 NSF budget (Appendix 1.0), tiie FY94 Ocean Sciences budget and the FY94 NSF ODP budget. He then reported on US Science Support Program activities (Appendix 1.1), including the NSF grants program, 1995 field programs and OSN activities (Appendix 1.2); Malfait outlined the NSF/ODP budget request for 1995 plarming and reviewed the NSF preliminary spending plan (Appendix 1.3).

Kappel reported on USSAC activities for FY94. She noted that JOI/USSAC had a new cooperative agreement with NSF that went into effect March 1,1994. Kappel reviewed the ODP-related workshops and site augmentation activities funded by USSAC for FY94 (Appendices 1.4-1.5). In addition, JOI was working on an interactive, multimedia CD-ROM project to teach earth science concepts through the use of ODP drilling results (Appendix 1.6). Kappel reviewed the JOI/USSAC distinguished lecturer series and the graduate fellowship program (Appendix 1.7).

2. United Kingdom Briden reported that the plarming for the JOIDES Office was on schedule; NERC had hired

Colin Jacobs to serve as the Science Coordinator. Briden reviewed some of the British plans for activities at the T A G site and noted that a VSP experiment was funded by NERC for the ODP leg at Barbados. Briden outlined recently-funded British scientific activities of interest to ODP programs. The U K had held its annual ODP Forum meeting in Leicester, Briden reported that it had been well attended and very successful.

3. Japan Taira reviewed tiie shnchare of ODP Japan and how it related to the STA/JAMSTEC 0D21

planning (Appendix 2.0). Taira reported on drilling proposals that the Research Planning Committee of ODP-Japan had put forward into the ODP system (Appendix 2.1). Taira reported that tiie Scientific Advisory Committee of STA for 0D21 had met three times since Kyoto and would soon publish their science plan of OD21. Taira noted that cooperation between Monbusho and STA for OD21 was growing and an " M O U ' would soon be signed by both to work together (Appendix 2.2).

4. Germany Maronde reported that there had been recent cuts in the research and technology agency of

Germany, he noted that personnel had to be cut in some agencies and institutes. Maronde explained tiiat there were government elections coming up and that, in general, there was a push for cooperation of research and applied technology. The DFG budget had experienced a 5% overall increase. However, in the last year there had been a 20% increase in tiie total amount of funds requested in proposals and this had made funding proposals difficult. Maronde reviewed the German budgets for ODP contributions and priority programs for the period 1989 -1994; he concluded that, overall, ODP was doing well witii funding in Germany (Appendix 3.0).

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29, 2994

Beiersdorf reported that the German annual ODP meeting had been held in March 1994, in Cologne. The meeting had been very successful and, to highlight international cooperation, had held coordinated sessions with InterRidge. The meeting had 150 scientists attend including guests from throughout Europe and the US. The discussions had concluded that there was a need for cooperation between the two groups.

Beiersdorf announced that the new ODP core repository had opened several weeks earlier in Bremen and an official opening ceremony would be held at the end of July. The repository was almost fully operational and the Ceara Rise sampling party was scheduled for August.

5. France Lancelot reported that there had been very strong French participation on the recent

lithosphere legs, including having French Co-chiefs on legs to Hess Deep and M A R K . This participation had helped laimch a strong French ridge studies program. Lancelot anticipated that the EAT drilling program would also have strong French participation. Lancelot explained that there was a mandate in France for ODP to integrate with other science programs, he felt that French scientists still viewed ODP as a facility-provider. Lancelot reviewed recent organizational changes at CNRS and he stressed that, in order to survive, ODP needed to cooperate with otiier global geoscience programs.

Lcuicelot noted that a subcontract had been awarded to Marseilles froip the ODP logging contractor, France was subsidizing the group to some extent to help expand the linkages of the logging with other programs. Lancelot explained that this was a positive step to increase the size of the scientific community in France involved in ODP.

Lancelot warned that budget difficulties were pending in France and that all of the sciences would be cut by a minimum of 8% next year. At the same time, Lancelot explained that there would be an evaluation of ODP by France next fall to decide the future of French participation in ODP for the last two years of the M O U . Lancelot felt that future of participation was in question and this independent review of the program would determine France's future in the program. Lancelot tfiought that the key to OOP's survival was to have the program linked to other international geoscience programs that needed the drillship to achieve their scientific objectives.

6. ESF Backman reported on the ECOD-generated proposals that had recentiy been drilled by ODP

and proposals that were scheduled in FY95. Backman stressed that the ESF Consortium was experiencing increasing interest in ODP due to the upcoming cruises in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic. The ESF Consortium had plarmed several workshops to help develop proposals for drilling, including the annual workshop planned for September in Davos. ITie tiieme of the Davos workshop was Margin and Marginal Basin Drilling: Past and Future. At the Davos meeting, there were also plans for a European Committee meeting to discuss the long-range future of ODP. Backman concluded that there was a very active ODP community in the ESF Consortium.

7. Can-Aus Consortium Malpas reviewed the Canadian funding situation and explained that there had been a marked

shift in the funding agencies toward strategic and applied research. Malpas reported that there had also been a recent change in the Canadian government and tiiis change had also impacted Canadian planning. Malpas noted that a complete review of science and technology in Canada was being undertaken in the next year. In addition, Canada was experiencing severe budget cuts, the Geological Survey was having a 15% cut, resulting in a 40% cut in operations; Malpas was sure this would impact Car«dian ODP funding.

Malpas reported that the Canadian ODP Council had worked to get a guarantee for a continuing level of participation, however, there was no security in the Canadian funding at present. Can-Aus wanted to negotiate with ODPC about continuing the temporary situation that allowed them to continue as a partial member in ODP while Can-Aus continues its activities to recruit a new partner(s). Malpas summarized the recent activities that Can-Aus had undertaken in its recruitment efforts.

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29,1994

Malpas reported that the Canadian GDP Secretariat would move from St. Johns to Toronto in October. Steve Scott would be the new Canadian ODP Director. Malpas would be taking a position outside of Canada and would be leaving EXCOM.

Falvey reviewed the situation that had evolved with Australia moving to sign an M O U with a consortium of Taiwan universities. An invitation had been issued to the Taiwan universities to join the Can-Aus Consortium and things were still being worked out, Falvey was hopeful fliat this would be accomplished soon. Falvey noted a general emphasis toward strategic or applied research for funding agencies in Australia. There was also a push for government agencies to get external fimding for research activities, 25% was now required to be secured from funding sources outside AGSO.

Falvey reported that the Austialian ODP Secretariat was now located at the University of New England, but there would be an advertisement of the office and it could move by April 1995. Coffee break... I0;I5 -10:30 AM

Item C. Engineering Development Review Committee Report

Becker reviewed the EDRC Mandate and noted that a third item was added to the mandate by agreement of the EXCOM Chair, PCOM Chair, JOI and NSF (Appendix 4.0). Becker reviewed tiie membership of the EDRC (Appendix 4.1) and then described the timetable and approach fliat tiie EDRC used in preparing tiieir final report to E XCOM (Appendix 4.2). Becker stressed that the EDRC considered its report final, and further meetings would be undertaken only if considered necessary by E X C O M .

Becker presented the EDRC position on personnel issues at ODP-TAMU (Appendix 4.3). The EDRC recognized that personnel issues fell within the purview of the ODP-TAMU Director's office but emphasized that there were significant issues that required resolution. The EDRC found tiie ODP-TAMU engineers to be highly skilled, competent and motivated. However, tiieir job morale suffered from poor leadership, over-commitment, and confusion about priorities and budgets.

Becker outlined the EDRC recommendations for standardizing procedures for engineering development (Appendices 4.4-4.5), the EDRC considered this their mosf important recommendation. Becker then detailed the eight steps of the procedure that the committee recommended and identified the parties that should be responsible for each step. The EDRC identified the need to do a proper feasibility analysis before starting any development as the main thrust of this standard procedure.

Becker reviewed the EDRC recommendations for improving the ODP-TAMU management structure (Appendix 4.6). In this area, the EDRC emphasized the need for one supervisor for operational engineering and another separate supervisor for mariaging engineering developments.

Regarding the oversight of ODP-TAMU engineering development subcontracts, the EDRC concluded tiiat the ODP-TAMU Director's office and engineering/operations manager urgently needed to formulate policies for monitoring engineering development subcontracts (Appendix 4.7). The EDRC also felt that the department manager should be responsible for seeing tfiat these policies were rigorously followed.

Becker outiined tiie points tiiat tiie EDRC felt were important for improving TEDCOM/ODP-T A M U / P C O M interactions (Appendix 4.8). The EDRC felt tiiat TEDCOM's primary role in interacting with ODP-TAMU should be in project feasibility analysis and the ensuing planning of development efforts, not in day-to-day details of the development engineering. The EDRC also felt tiiat tiie TEDCOM Chair should attend every P C O M meeting to advise P C O M on technical planning and prioritization. In addition, TEDCOM and PCOM should regularly review the membership and chairmanship of TEDCOM to ensure that TEDCOM had the necessary expertise to advise on current ODP-TAMU engineering development efforts.

The EDRC had reviewed tiie DCS development and recommended tiiat TEDCOM and its DCS subcommittee advise P C O M on the feasibility of continued DCS development. If TEDCOM considered DCS development feasible, then a full development plan should be established by

EXCOM Minutes—June 28 - 29,1994

O D P - T A M U / T E D C O M / P C O M so that P C O M could property prioritize continued DCS development (Appendix 4.9).

Becker closed by emphasizing that some of tiie EDRC recommendations were urgent «ind needed to be acted on quickly, EXCOM should not leave the issues unresolved for too long.

On behalf of ODP-TAMU, Duce thanked Becker and his committee for a thorough review. He assured EXCOM that ODP-TAMU would take this report very seriously and act accordingly. Duce explained tiiat ODP-TAMU fully agreed that the EDRC recorrunendations were appropriate and that there were actions to be taken at ODP-TAMU to address some of the problems identified by the EDRC. D^ce promised EXCOM that ODP-TAMU would make a progress report to PCOM in August and that he would have a full report on ODP-TAMU actions on the EDRC recommendations for E X C O M in January.

Maxwell asked if the EDRC had considered whetiier or not the planned computer upgrade should follow a similar development plan to that recommended here? Becker said that the EDRC had not considered the computer upgrade as a part of their mandate, the issue had not been addressed at EDRC meetings.

Item D. Program Management Reports 1. NSF

Malfait reviewed the FY94 ODP fxmding (Appendix 5.0) and the changes that had been made to the original Program Plan budget. These included a $600K reduction imtil the computer/database plan was presented, tiie approval of the ODP core repository in Bremen, a change in Leg 157, and the addition of the EDRC and LWD.

Malfait outiined the assumptions in the FY95 target budget of $44.9M (Appendbc 5.1). Malfait noted that NSF had concerns about delays in DCS development, lack of detail in the plans for the computer/data base upgrade, and lack of detail in the international development strategy.

2. JOI a) FY94 Budget Activities

Austin reviewed die activity and budgets involved in supporting the recent LWD program on Leg 156, he reported it had been very successful and could be important for ODP in the future (Appendix 6.0). Austin also thanked the EDRC for their report, he felt that they had handled the task very effectively.

Kappel reported on tine FY94 budget situation regarding the $600K being withheld by NSF. ODP-TAMU had gone ahead and reviewed the RFP, tine Computer RFP Evaluation Committee had concurred that the process was correct and, as a result BCOM recommended release of these fimds. JOI was working with ODP-TAMU to present a plan with the amount of detail required by NSF to release the funds. She stressed a decision to release the funds was needed by July so that best-and-final offers were able to be preserved.

b) FY95 Budget Activities

Austin reviewed JOI's actions toward enacting EXCOM's internationalization plan developed at the February EXCOM meeting (Appendix 6.1). After polling the Intematiorwl Partnership Advisory Committee (IPAC) and EXCOM as a whole regarding activities to recruit new partners, JOI had suggested to BCOM/NSF that the new ODP Director take on the internationalization tasks. B C O M had allocated the $50K to support the new ODP Director in these activities.

c) New ODP Director

Leinen filled EXCOM in on progress in JOI's search for a new Director of ODP. JOI had formed an international Search Advisory Committee (Leinen, Nowell, Briden, BeiersdorO to advise the Director of JOI on candidates for the ODP Directorship. Leinen reported that interviews were to be completed in conjunction with this EXCOM meeting and September 1 was the target date for having a new person in place, hopefully with a period of overiap and turnover with Austin. Leinen noted tiiat it was a very international applicant pool. The Search Advisory Committee (SAC) had met by phone and discussed the applicants, howeyer applications continued to come in. The SAC had defined tiie hiring process and were intending to evaluate candidates this week but the SAC also wanted to plan for contingencies if a candidate was not selected or was not

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29,1994

available. In addition, a successful candidate would have to be approved by NSF. The SAC planned to have completed their search v^nthin tiie next month and would be notifying EX CO M of the results by e-mail.

d) PEC Mandate/Membership

Austin reviewed JOI's responsibility to NSF to mandate and staff the program's fourth Performance Evaluation Committee (PEC), noting it would be the last PEC prior to the negotiation with partners for post-1998 renewal (Appendix 6.2). Austin presented a draft of the PEC mandate and suggested a list of people for possible staffing for EXCOM to consider and discuss. EXCOM agreed to review the mandate and membership and take up the item on Wednesday at the EXCOM session.

3. Science Operator, O D P - T A M U Rabinowitz reviewed tiie highlights in ODP operations since the last EXCOM meeting

(Appendix 7.0) and outiined tiie FY95 ODP-TAMU budget and SOE allocations for computing, DCS development and lab upgrades at shipyard. Rabinowitz gave an overview of tiie ODP-T A M U budget history and growth in the base budget. He explained that grov^^ of base budgets have not kept up to the rates of inflation and, in addition, more tasks were being assigned to the Science Operator.

Coyne reported on the status of the computer/database upgrade and reviewed tiie objectives of tiie RFP. Coyne presented the ODP-TAMU timeline for development of tiie RFP and data management system development (Appendix 7.2). He noted that TRACOR had been chosen as the vendor and the details of the contract were being negotiated. Coyne explained the generalized management structure that would be used by ODP-TAMU to administer the new computing subcontract (Appendix 7.3) and reviewed the ODP-TAMU JANUS project management organizational structure (Appendix 7.4). Coyne presented the two-year budget and development plan for the project for the FY95-FY96 period (Appendix 7.5). Coyne noted that there would be a need for additional staff at ODP-TAMU to achieve the goals of the new program and maintain the old system while the changeover occurred. Coyne presented a schematic view of how the new system would be configured (Appendix 7.6) and described the benefits that the new system would impart on the computing environment in ODP.

Baldauf began his review of the recent ODP legs by noting that the ODP operations schedule had been updated and revised since the last EXCOM, the planned drydock would be done in Falmouth in December (Appendix 7.7). Baldauf reviewed the staffing for Legs 152-164 (Appendix 7.8). Baldauf outiined the scientific objectives, site locations, preliminary results and total operational time distribution for Legs 153-156 (Appendices 7.9-7.22).

Briden asked for a clarification of the budget for tiie computing/data base upgrade. He wanted to know why NSF was intervening and withholding funds when ODP-TAMU was proceeding in accordance with JOIDES advice? Malfait explained that NSF felt that the upgrade was an important $3M project but the ODP Program Plan had no description of the oversight process during development. The oversight process was what NSF wanted to see developed more fully. Heinrichs agreed that NSF's withholding funds was not to delay the process but to be ensure that NSF was comfortable with the plan to spend the money before releasing it. Heinrichs added that NSF did not think there were enough checkpoints and milestones in the development plan. NSF wanted ODP to establish enough reviews and checkpoints in the process to allow for proper oversight and management of the program.

Lancelot agreed tiiat BCOM had also been concerned that there be a firm management plan with check points and reviews. Lancelot explained tiiat BCOM had intended that tiie JOI steering committee would be established to advise ODP-TAMU on the first phase of the contract negotiation and maintain an oversight function during the project development.

Kappel explained that the JOI steering committee was a JOI committee and was unusual in the system since it had both T A M U and JOIDES members as well as outside experts. She added tiiat the steering committee would not sit in on the final negotiations but would act as a review committee for tiie work statement for JOI. In addition, the steering committee would provide JOI

10 E X C O M Minutes — June 28 - 29, 2994

with progress reports arid a checks-and-balances function in the contracting process as well providing technical advice and direction to ODP-TAMU.

Lewis noted that the Statement of Work needed to be completed before a contract was signed. Lewis stressed that the intent of the JOI steering committee was not to have veto power or to micromanage the project, it was to help advise on the development and inclusion of milestones and checkpoints in the development process.

Heinrichs concluded that there were still some loose ends in the written information that had come to NSF and NSF was working with JOI to get an approvable package soon in order to release the $600K. Maxwell advocated that the EDRC review recommendation for project development ought to be considered in terms of the computer upgrade and a similar type of development procedure be followed. Lurich break : 12:30 - 2:30 P M

4. Wireline Logging Services, ODP-LDEO Goldberg reported on the recent logging operations on Legs 153-156 (Appendices 8.0-8.7). He

noted that the LWD activities on Barbados had been particularly successful. Goldberg outiined the upcoming logging plans for Legs 156-158 (Appendix 8.8). The development of high-temperature tools was reviewed (Appendix 8.9) and on-going initiatives were updated (Appendix 8.10).

Goldberg gave an overview of the FY89-FY95 Wireline Logging budgets (Appendix 8.11) and a status report on the subcontracts in the UK and France (Appendix 8.12). Ltmcelot asked about the possibility for logging the upper portions of the hole, he wanted to know if there were ways to improve the ability to do this? Goldberg thought that LWD was the best way to improve tiie shallow logging.

5. P C O M a). Long-Range Planning

Lewis reported tiiat P C O M had endorsed tine conclusions of the Joint EXCOM-STA/JAMSTEC Workshop in Kyoto with a motion. In addition, based on an update on the Japanese plans for the ship presented by Kiyoshi Suyehiro at PCOM in April , PCOM passed a motion supporting ttie proposal from Japan for an advanced drilling vessel to serve as an international scientific program following the JOIDES model (Appendix 9.0).

Lewis reviewed PCOM's plan to update and revise the LRP (Appendix 9.1). PCOM's motivation was that the LRP was out of date and that upcoming reviews of the program would need an up-to-date plan to evaluate the program against.

2) Medium-Term Platming

Lewis reviewed the FY95 Science Plan (Appendix 9.2) and the FY95 Program Plan (Appendix 9.3). He reviewed the changes that the science plan underwent since December 1993, and the circumstances that lead to the removal of the Return to Site 735B program from the science plan. The contingency plan (Appendix 9.4) that PCOM had agreed to at the April PCOM meeting had been employed when the drydock was rescheduled to take place in Falmouth, rather than Capetown. Subsequent to the April P C O M meeting, the contingency plan was revisited by P C O M on e-mail. Lewis presented the Thematic Panel global ranking of proposals for 1994 (Appendices 9.5-9.7). P C O M had used this information to set its four-year plan (Appendix 9.8). '

3) Short-Term Planning

Liaison Groups Lewis reviewed the November 1989 mandate for Liaison Groups (Appendix 9.9) and presented

PCOM's proposed revised mandate developed at \he April 1994 PCOM meeting (Appendix 9.10). The revised mandate would need EXCOM approval to replace the 1989 version.

Shallow Water Gas Lewis reviewed PCOM's revised policy on the funding of Gas Hazards Surveys (Appendix

9.11). Given ODP budgets in the near future, PCOM had concluded it would be necessary for funds for shallow water gas hazards surveys to be the responsibility of the proponent(s).

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29,1994 11_

DCS Lewis reviewed the DCS development plan that P C O M had instituted (Appendix 9.12), noting

that a full review in December 1994 may be necessary as a result of recent developments with subcontractors.

Computer RFP Evaluation Committee Lewis reviewed the recent history of the computer RFP process and the recommendations of

the Computer RFP Evaluation Committee. The committee had recommended tiiat ODP-TAMU undertake the new data management system upgrade and that a steering committee be used to provide oversight to the process (Appendices 9.13-9.14). Lewis explained the purpose of the steering committee recommended by the Computer RFP Evaluation Committee was to provide on-going technical and management guidance to ODP-TAMU and its subcontractor for the ODP data management system (Appendix 9.15). BCOM had approved the mandate of the steering committee in May and had passed the recommendation to JOI for implementation. However, Lewis noted that the committee had not yet been implemented because funds were being held and the entire program was not going forward yet.

Heiiu-ichs commented that tiiere was a "Catch-22" going on with NSF holding funds to see a statement of work and implementation plan, but the steering committee needed to advise on writing a Statement of Work and implementation plan was being held up pending release of funds. Heinrichs did not think that tfie plan that NSF wanted was something that the steering group itself would write. Rosendahl noted that BCOM had approved the Computer RFP Committee's recommendations concerning the steering committee and at the BCOM meeting NSF had indicated tiiat the funds would be released as a result. Heinrichs agreed NSF had asked for a variety of material, but he stressed that NSF was still not comfortable with the written planrimg and the list of deliverables tiiat had been shown to them. What NSF wanted was a management plan and this was still being completed. Austin indicated tiiat a management plan had been received at JOI from ODP-TAMU but had not yet been reviewed, it would be forwarded to NSF soon.

Item E. 1995 Program Plan Budget Reports 1. 1995 NSF Budget Planning

Heinrichs outiined the total NSF FY95 budget request and its breakdown within NSF (Appendix 10.0) and within the Ocean Sciences division of NSF (Appendix 10.1). Heinrichs reviewed the US FY95 budget cycle, he explained that the budget request was in Congress and could take until November to finalize. The NSF ODP target budget for FY95 was $44.9M, level with FY94, and had been set by NSF for planning budgets and for partner plaruiing (Appendix 10.2). Heinrichs reviewed tiie budgets for ODP from FY92-FY95 and noted tiiat tiie FY95 projection required a full six members participating at $2.95M.

Heinrichs explained that the basic stiucture of the MOUs required the US to provide at least 51% of the program costs. However, when tiie US provided more than 60%—the scenario that would occur if Can-Aus was not a full member in FY95—the premise of the MOUs was at stake. Heinrichs thought tiiat policy was an issue in FY95 budget planning scenarios because there were not six full international partners (Appendix 10.3). Heinrichs presented several budget scenarios, including with Can-Aus as a 7/12 member and with Taiwan added to tiie consortium as a l /6 th member (Appendix 10.4). Heinrichs felt that it was important for ODP to have full memberships so tiiat these complex models did not have to be implemented.

Heinrichs then reviewed budget scenarios with (a) six partners and an increased membership of $3.2M, (ib) seven partiiers with a $2.95M membership, and (3) seven partners with a $3.2M membership. In each, a total ODP budget was calculated for NSF contributions of 51%, 55%, and 60% (Appendix 10.5). Heiruichs had brought this up to discuss how to try to fill tiie gap between actual budgets and the LRP projected budgets. He pointed out that to get a $50M program that allowed the US to stay at the 50-60% funding level, there needed to be changes, either in contributions from partners, or wiih tiie addition of new partiiers. If the goal of the program was to have a budget of $50M, then a serious partnership issue had to be addressed because with just six members and a dues increase to $3.2 M , the program could not reach a $50M budget witii the

12 EXCOM Minutes—June 28 - 29,1994

US at 50-60%. This issue would be taken up by ODPC at their meeting on Thursday during discussion of the FY96 partnership dues.

Lewis asked what would happen in FY95 if there were not six full international partners? Heinrichs said that NSF was not going to commit to make up the difference of a partial membership in FY95 and if a full membership did not develop tiien program reductions would have to be an option. He stressed that the final budget was still tentative.

Austin asked how EXCOM could approve the Program Plan given this uncertainty? Heinrichs tiiought tiiat EXCOM should vote based on tiie $44.9M budget that was planned for. Austin asked if that action was valid if the premise was flawed? Heinrichs said that if there were budget reductions required as a result of partial membership, then that would be an NSF management decision. Rosendahl was concerned that it had taken BCOM two meetings to get the budgets down to the $44.9M target and he did not see how a $1.2M cut could be accommodated. Briden was concerned that throughout the FY95 planning NSF had been consistent with tiieir message that a $44.9M budget should be planned for, there were no messages about budget-shortfall contingencies until now. Briden wanted EXCOM to try to identify how a potential $1.2M shortfall would be accommodated. Rosendahl agreed because tiiere were some important budgetary commitments being made in the FY95 Program Plan budget, the computer/data base upgrade for example.

Heinrichs wanted from EXCOM a prioritized list of cuts that could be made, and if necessary, NSF would make tiie budget cuts by exercising its management role. Austin wanted to know when NSF could tell JOI about any cuts. Heinrichs could not say specifically except he stressed that a contract would be ready by October 1.

Leinen asked Heinrichs what he meant by his comment that NSF would make ODP budget cuts as an exercise of its management role? As she understood it, JOI was the contracted manager for the program and she felt that budget cuts should be implemented by a management plan formulated by JOI witii interaction with tiie JOIDES advisory shuchare. She tiiought tiiat JOIDES input was essential in the event of budget cutting. Kappel agreed and explained tinat if there was a budget reduction then JOI would go to PCOM and P C O M would forward a prioritized list to E X C O M / B C O M . Heinrichs agreed that the procedure outiined by Leinen and Kappel, was correct.

2. 1995 PCOM Science Planning Lewis reiterated tiiat P C O M had made the commitment of funds for the computing upgrade

their highest priority. Through FY96, other budget items would be prioritized below this importcint two-year commitment (Appendix 11.0). In FY95, the extent of the DCS development budget was still not completely known, development would probably slow down and could potentially go through a re-evaluation period. Pressure Core Sampler was also anotiier potential engineering development required for FY95 science.

Coffee break 3:15-3:30 P M 3. BCOM

Rosendahl reviewed BCOM's deliberations on building a budget with level funding and a controlling assumption that innovation is the essential driving force behind the drilling program. This assumption resulted in a minimum of 4% of total subcontractor budgets being allocated for SOE. BCOM approached the problem of balancing a level budget by recommending the funding of certain specific SOE projects at expense of base budgets.

Rosendahl outiined tiie BCOM recommendations from the March meeting for the ODP-TAMU, ODP-LDEO and JOI budgets. The international development initiative was discussed at B C O M in March and several issues were raised, specifically the use of commingled funds and the reprogramming of operational funds for administrative functions. In tiie final FY95 budget, JOI decided to combine the ODP Director and the internationalization manager position, this saved $252K.

In May, BCOM was satisfied with tiie Computer RFP Committee's report and recommended autiiorization of $900K in tfie FY95 budget for tiie upgrade to be combined witii tiie $ 600K

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29, 1994 13_

programmed in FY94. This brought the recommended commitment of $1.5M in FY94/FY95 and $ 1.5M in FY96. BCOM also endorsed the Computer RFP Committee's recommendation for a steering committee and that the Chair of the steering committee be a liaison to the ODP-TAMU contract negotiations. Rosendahl concluded by saying that the FY95 budgets did not contain a lot of fat and it would require serious reconsideration if there was to be a cut of $1.2M as was suggested by Heinrichs. Given the level-budget trend, BCOM wanted to ask E X C O M , P C O M and JOI to look into serious reorganization of areas within ODP for better cost efficiency.

Austin noted BCOM had previously prioritized the budgets for FY95 science programs and innovation. He agreed that if a cut of $1.2M were to come about, JOIDES needed to look at the program overall for places where large cuts could be made. Austin stressed that after the fixed operations budgets were taken out there was not a lot of flexibility left over and that functionality in the program would have to be cut.

Rosendahl thought that PCOM needed to revise the LRP to make the budget scenarios more realistic. Lewis said he was taking that message to tiie PCOM LRP subcommittee and that P C O M would be considering budget issues in depth in August. He reminded EXCOM that it would be difficult to construct a more exciting science program within a level-to-declining budget scenario and emphasized that budgets had to grow or level funding would degrade the program to such an extait it may not be able to recover.

Nowell suggested that if there was a requirement for a significant decrease in the FY95 budget, EXC OM be notified so that a meeting of BCOM and appropriate bodies could be coordinated if needed. Nowell tabled further discussion of budget contingency planning until E X C O M took up approval of the FY95 Program Plan.

1. ODP Review 1999-2003 Heinrichs described some of the background to the most recent M O U renewal. Discussions

among ODPC during the renewal had included plans for a review of the program in the 1994-1996 time frame (Appendix 12.0). Heinrichs explained that one intent of the review was to look into other possible platforms for the 1999-2003 period. Heinrichs felt tiiat if a review for 94-96 time frame was to be done it needed to begin now. NSF wanted to have the review in mid-95, this was because of the events that would occur in, 1995 including: the P C O M review of the LRP, the implementation of the EDRC recommendations and tiie PEC FV review. Heinrichs explained that the ODPC would examine and set specific objectives for this review, ODPC would not be duplicating the PEC FV review but would use it as a base to work from. He stressed that the MOUs were written such that it was an ODPC issue but he wanted E X C O M input. In the US, tiie US National Academy of Sciences was interested in doing such a review.

Briden wanted to see a review with a broader purview, so that successes of the program could be evaluated in a larger context. He tiiought that ODP should be reviewed in a broader context of global marine geosciences to help define tiie overall perception of the program. Heiruichs agreed it would be necessary to include ODP and related programs, a broad view was required. He felt that a big question that still remained was: should tiie process be a single international review or a series of national reviews that were put together? He noted that the French were already planning a national review in this timeframe.

Lancelot added that the French review was planning to go the route of Briden's suggestion. France wanted to expand the role of ODP in marine geosciences, without a significant movement in this direction there would not be a renewal of the program in France. Witiiout a major change in ODP and how ODP contributed to other programs the money would be reprogrammed. Lancelot thought that this new role for ODP entailed taking a risk to expand the program. In order to have multiple-platforms a budget increase was necessary and to do this the program must change. Lancelot acknowledged that there was risk that shaking up the program might break it but without change the program would not survive.

2. PEC Mandate Nowell circulated a draft mandate and membership list for the PEC IV. Beiersdorf, Taira and

Raleigh were asked to draft a motion for the PEC mandate for consideration on Wednesday.

14 - EXCOM Minutes —June 28 - 29,1994

3. Consistency of JOIDES Agreements Beiersdorf had raised the issue of the JOIDES agreement from 1966 and how membership and

panel mandates, were defined subsequent to the original JOIDES agreement. Nowell noted that the Terms of Reference for EXCOM, BCOM and Science Advisory Structure tiiat were adopted by EXCOM in September 1985 superseded all previous agreements and were the JOIDES reference for all matters of panel mandate and membership.

4. Restructuring of JOI Leinen reviewed the restructuring of JOI into two corporations, JOI and CORE. She explained

that the new structijre would create an organization that had the capability of evolving as tiie needs of ODP and other non-ODP programs evolved. Leinen described tiie rationale behind CORE formation, for the US it was primarily (1) a desire to increase non-drilling activities in ocean science, (2) a desire to represent a larger US community, and (3) a desire to be able to take on a proactive role for the benefit of US ocean science.

Beiersdorf asked who tiie new JOIBOG would be and how tiiey would represent the international programs? Leinen explained that JOIBOG could add members, there was a process for any ODP partner to join JOI by petitioning for membership. Beiersdorf tfiought that there would be a built in conflict of interest if there were shared members on both JOIBOG and COREBOG. Leinen thought that the issues could be separated enough to reduce potential conflict of interest.

Nowell thanked Becker for the excellent report from the EDRC and commended ttie committee for delivering the report to EXCOM in a timely fashion. EXCOM discussed the four categories of the report recommendations and debated who should take action on the items. Briden wanted E X C O M to ensure that the momentum for the report be maintained and tiiat some of the items be implemented immediately.

Taira asked if there was a need for another review comrnittee to look specifically at DCS? Becker noted that the EDRC felt the TEDCOM subcommittee was sufficientiy qualified to review and advise on the development. Orcutt noted Sparks' talk in Kyoto that suggested the possibility that compensation at tiie seafloor was a better way to develop DCS. Lewis agreed tiiat TEDCOM was aware of this and the EDRCs proposed serial development procedure was meant to evaluate those questions. Lewis noted that PCOM would review the goals of the DCS in August and bring this into its budget prioritization for FY96 in December.

At the conclusion of the discussion, EXCOM passed the following motion:

EXCOM Motion, June 1994 - EDRC Report E X C O M accepts the EDRC Report and thanks the Committee and its Chair for its excellent

report and constructive recommendations. EXCOM recommends tiiat P C O M and T A M U (following direction from JOI) evaluate tiie,

Malpas suggested that words be added to charge tiie committee to make recommendations for action based on their findings. Maxwell asked that the mandate look at long-term planning in the program. Austin thought that the performance of the contractor was important. The mandate #1 and 2 was broken out because of the EDRC reference, tiie two are related but tiie EDRC did not look at logging. Mutter asked to add publications to the review, since publications was such a large budget item it should be looked at for cost effectiveness. EXCOM discussed the detailed wording of the mandate and debated if the mandate should be broad and general or specifically targeted at aspects of the program. Coffee break 9:30-10:00 AM

JOI will brief the committee on the many issues facing the program and its future renewal.

Item L Ocean Dril l ing Program FY95 Program Plan Approval

Nowell proposed the following motion for approval of the FY95 Program Plan:

E X C O M Motion, June 1994 - FY95 Program Plan Approval E X C O M endorses the FY95 Program Plan as presented witii a $44.9M budget including the

continued upgrade of the data management system. Should JOI be notified by NSF of any change in the budget total for FY95, EXCOM requests

JOI notify the EXCOM Chair in order tiiat tiie. full benefit of appropriate JOIDES committees advice may be utilized to evaluate the impact of any cut and to recommend appropriate responses and plan changes.

Nowell moved, Orcutt seconded. Rosendahl asked that the issue of the rescheduling of the Return to 735B program be brought

up at this time. Nowell questioned if the details of the science plan and ship track were appropriate EXCOM issues. He suggested that they should not be discussed by E X C O M . Purdy disagreed, saying that it was an EXC OM issue because it was related to the relationship between tiie Thematic Panels and PCOM. He tiiought tiiat LITHP perceived tiiat ttie process tiiat lead to the decision to remove the Return to 735B program from the FY95 schedule was not fair because the JOIDES Office did not to provide the full amount of information to PCOM prior to their reconsideration of tiie issue. Purdy wanted tiie JOIDES Office to be directed to take action to try to repair the broken relationship between PCOM and U T H P .

Maxwell asked Lewis for PCOM's perception of the problem. Lewis said that he could comment but if the issue was to be discussed fully he would want time to review the entire process in detail so that everyone would know what had happened. Nowell asked that, since the issue—as asserted by Purdy—appeared to be tiie relationship of P C O M to LITHP, EXCOM defer this discussion until later. Nowell asked EXCOM to focus on the Program Plan approval motion that was on the floor. Rosendahl tiiought that the process had affected the plan. Briden disagreed. He felt that the process discussion was not relevant to the FY95 Program Plan and questioned why the matter was being brought up at this time and had not been raised yesterday during the PCOM reports. Mutter tiiought tiiat the process in question had led to tiie Program Plan that E X C O M was being asked to vote on and was therefore a relevant discussion item at this time. Nowell asked that EXCOM limit its discussion of the Program Plan to the plan itself as presented and tabled discussion of the process and Uie relationship between LITHP and PCOM until later in the day. Malpas and Maxwell agreed that it would be bad policy for E X C O M to consider changing the science plan that was adopted by PCOM. Rosendahl countered that if the process was vwong then maybe accepting the plan was not appropriate.

3. Program Visibil i ty EXCOM discussed opportunities for the program to use the ship while it was operating in the

Mediterranean and North Atiantic for publicity for the program. Fratta noted tiie ECOD would meet in Naples in conjunction with a JOIDES Resolution port call. Watkins stressed that this type of opportunity was important for the top-down approach to attracting new member. If ODP was serious about international membership it should coordinate these activities with the International Partnership Advisory Committee and try to identify ways to use the ship and meetings to bring more public attention to the program. EXCOM discussed additional ways to increase the profile of ODP and agreed to try to coordinate any opportunities with JOI and the International Partnership Advisory Committee.

4. Return to 735B At tfie request of EXCOM, Lewis reviewed in detail the history of the FY95 Program Plan.

Lewis outlined PCOM's actions regarding the plan for a drydock contingency that was first discussed at the December 1993 P C O M meeting. The contingency plan was fully developed at tiie April 1994 P C O M meeting and finally implemented the week after tiie April P C O M meeting when Sedco-Forex notified ODP-TAMU that tiie drydock would not be in South Africa. At the request of tiie LITHP Chair, tiie JOIDES Office had polled P C O M to see if tiiere was a majority in favor of reconsidering the contingency plan. The result of the poll was negative so PCOM's contingency plan stood.

Rosendahl asked why the draft schedule that had been posed by Natland was not circulated to PCOM? Lewis stressed that it was not appropriate for P C O M to consider a schedule tiiat Natiand, as a Co-Chief, had developed. Lewis cited clear conflict of interest guidelines in the ODP Policy Manual that would not allow a co-chief or a proponent to be involved in discussions where decisions tiiat affected tiie entire drilling schedule were concerned. Out of fairness, Lewis did not think that Natiand's draft schedule should have been circulated without an opportunity for Co-Chiefs of all the impacted FY95 legs to do the same.

Purdy did not want to review tiie issue at great length, but he urged Lewis to discuss this issue witii LITHP and to try to repair the misconceptions that the panel had about the process. He wanted Lewis to foster a more constructive relationship between P C O M and LFTHP in the future. Lewis agreed to try to eliminate the panel's misconceptions but felt that the process had been kept fair and that the relationship between PCOM and LITHP was good.

5. Persormel Nowell wanted the record to reflect EXCOM's deep appreciation of Art Maxwell's many years

of leadership in the program and EXCOM's wish that he have a productive and fulfilling retirement. Nowell also asked EXCOM to thank John Malpas for his long and valuable involvement in ODP; Malpas would be leaving Canada to accept a faculty position in Hong Kong. Raleigh asked tiiat EXCOM tiiank Artiiur Nowell for his Chairmanship of E X C O M during tiie last two years while the JOIDES Office was at tiie University of Washington.

18 ' EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29.1994

— Joint E X C O M , ODPC, STA, and JAMSTEC Session — Item K. Joint E X C O M , ODPC, STA, and JAMSTEC Session

Omata introduced himself and thanked EXCOM for its cooperation on the Workshop held in Kyoto in February and for the opportunity to return to update EXCOM on STA's plans for OD21.

Omata reviewed several reasons why Japan was interested in running the Ocean Drilling Program's vessel and participation in an international program like ODP. Primarily, Japan wanted to make a significant contribution to the international community ir\ an important area of basic scientific research. Of secondary importance was flie scientific benefits tiiat Japan would reap in understanding its own volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

At present STA was asking for an appropriation to go forward with OD21 plans. However, the Japanese financial authority would question them about the level of international contribution. To get funds for OD21 it would be necessary for STA to enter into a cooperative effort with an international program. In Japan, ODP was viewed as the key cooperative international program, the Kyoto workshop and EXC OM endorsement of OD21 had set an excellent groundwork for cooperation between STA and ODP. In addition, PCOM had endorsed the 0D21 scientific efforts with a motion welcoming Japan's planning for deep sea drilling. STA wanted to Stress that the OD21 program would not succeed without support from funding agencies of participating countries. It was now important to obtain evidence of cooperation from the international countries in ODP. Omata hoped that this EXCOM meeting would lead to another step toward realization of the 0D21 plan.

1. Report of the Engineering Technology Working Group Lewis reported on the Engineering Technology Working Group that met in May in Japan to

look at the riser concept from a technical and engineering standpoint. (Appendix 13.0). The main assumption of the Working Group was that all of the stated science objectives would require development of a riser system with a full blow-out preventor (BOP). In addition, the ultimate goal of drilling would be to deploy the BOP in up to 4 km of water with a total drillstring length of 10 km (Appendix 13.1).

Lewis explained that the BOP was a change from the normal ODP operational mode. In addition, the TEDCOM slimline riser concept did not provide the full BOP capability that was used in industrial applications. Lewis then reviewed ttie main feature of offshore oil-field drilling (Appendix 13.2) which are a BOP, a riser, and choke/kill lines attached to the riser pipe for well control and BOP control. The record to-date for the deepest water deptt\ for riser deployment was set by Shell at 2.3 km so the ODP goal of 4 km was very ambitious.,Lewis described the features of the current JAMSTEC concept for the initial 2 km riser (Appendix 13.3). Based on the results of the Kyoto Workshop, JAMSTEC was doing a feasibility study and dynamic analysis for a 4 km riser concept (Appendix 13.4). To be feasible, the riser must be made of reduced-mass materials and have an active heave compensation system to reduce heave motion.

Lewis concluded with the recommendations of the Working Group (Appendix 13.5). The Working Group endorsed the concept of an irutial 2 km industry-type riser system of approximately 16 inch diameter with seafloor BOP. The Working Group also endorsed a phased approach to starting from the 2 km industry-type system and working toward an ultimate target of building a 4 km riser while maintaining BOP control at the seafloor. The Working Group suggested that JOIDES undertake a separate assessment of the feasibility of a 4 km riser system.

Heinrichs asked if the slimline concept did not allow the BOP control and asked for clarification on this issue. Rabinowitz thought that the slimline concept allowed for limited blowout prevention and it would allow ODP to drill in areas that they would not attempt now. However, if pressure was encountered the hole had to be abandoned. Austin agreed tfiat there was limited blowout prevention with a slimline riser, but it was less than with the standard riser. Takagawa added that the slimline riser was designed without kill and choke lines as a way to reduce the mass. He agreed that tine sliinline riser could drill in some areas not possible at present, but the slimline riser could not be used to drill in areas where well control was needed to continue the drilling in areas of overpressure. Heiruichs summarized that with a slimline system ODP would have to quit drilling if overpressures were encountered, witii the oil-industry-type riser drilling

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29,1994 19

could continue. Heinrichs thought that this would impact the liability issues for the program, the program would need an insurable system.

Austin pointed out to E X C O M that, even though the riser was being referred to as an "oil-industry-type", and would have full BOP, the technology for this system did not yet exist, this was still being developed. Omata explained that STA's interest in developing a riser with a BOP was that Japan would need to ensure safety from blow-outs and pollution if Japan were to undertake requests to drill in other counh-ies; the riser would also have to be reliable and safe. Taira agreed that the issue of safety was important for the Japanese government when it came to considering commitment to this program.

2. Status of Planning by STA

Omata noted tiiat tiie management aspects of OD21 had not been discussed at Kyoto or by the Technology W G (Appendix 14.0). Omata presented STA's ideas on management of the OD21 program (Appendix 14.1). STA/JAMSTEC thought that the management system should take after OOP's and that an international organization of scientists should be responsible for making scientific planning decisior\s. Operational costs should be shared by participating countries, as in ODP, although country shares could be different from those in the current ODP. The ship's operation would be the responsibility of Japan, however various options could be discussed concerning supporting bodies and facilities. Omata explained that, in order to obtain Japanese government commitment to build the new ship for GD21, the Japanese government wanted to know that there was a general consensus that the program would be supported and run within the general management plan and structure of ODP/JOIDES.

Omata outiined tiie current timetable and plan to realize OD21 in the period FY94-FY2004 (Appendix 14.2). Omata sti-essed that STA/JAMSTEC would like to play a central role in preparing a new vessel for 0D21 realization. According to the current plan, Japan would fund the construction of vessel and the riser, but would expect the individual partner countries to provide support for observatory instruments, research facilities, software, operational know-how, etc. This commitment would help persuade the Japanese government to support the OD21 construction and would also be helpful in creating an international, easily-available research facility.

Omata reported that the Scientific Advisory Committee for OD21 in Japan had firushed its report on OD21 in June 1994 and it had been adopted as STA's science plan. The Science Advisory Committee Report was being presented to the Minister of STA this week by Kenkichi Hirose. STA was plarming to complete design plans as soon as possible and to deliver more details in tiie early stages in FY95 and FY96. If STA could follow its planned timetable, the ship would be operational in 2003. STA recognized that this undertaking would not be easy, it would be absolutely essential to have the understanding and support of E X C O M / O D P C at this stage of development. In order to go forward it would be important to know the level of support from other countries and to obtain specific commitments to show the Japanese government. To accomplish this next step, Omata proposed an international working group to study the management issues of OD21 in detail. Omata added ttiat when the 0D21 plan and budget were presented to the Japanese government they would want to know what the other partner countries could provide to the program.

Beiersdorf asked if Japan was tiiinking of different classes of membership when referring to different shares for costs for the program? Omata did not have a plan that specific at this time, he saw tiie partnerships being in the ODP/JOIDES mode. Beiersdorf thought the issues of partner rights in terms of panel memberships, etc., was an important one to address early in the process.

Nowell asked what STA saw as an estimate of the total cost for the project? Omata did not know because the development of the riser had been delayed, this made it difficult to estimate the total cost.

Beiersdorf asked if the ship would operate full-time doing scientific drilling or did STA plan for there to be commercial interests in using the drillship? Omata assured E X C O M ttiat the ship would be used full-time for scientific ocean drilling and tiiere were no other types of operations planned.

20 EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29,1994

Heinrichs asked about the time schedule and when STA would need to know about commitments from countries interested in participating in OD21? Omata explained that tfiere was a need to have commitments before design begins in FY96, this would require information on participation sometime in 1995.

Briden asked if STA was asking for moral support and an agreement, in principle, for the commitment of the partner countries to put equipment on the ship? Omata agreed that this was an important step. Briden tfiought that there was precedent for this type of commitment from back in DSDP when equipment was provided to the ship by members. Heinrichs did not see any prohibition for this type of commitment, in principle. One problem he did see was the timing problem, the timetable would require partners to make firm commitments in 1995 in order to meet the schedule presented by Omata.

Omata understood that EXCOM wanted information that was specific in order to make any type of commitment. This was the best picture he could present at the moment and he hoped that a commitment in principle could be made based on this. The next step that STA wanted to propose was setting up another working group to meet in the Fall of 1994 to study the marwgement and cost issues related to joint support of the 0D21 program. STA did not have specific management proposal but wanted to move ahead with the planning in this area.

3. Possible E X C O M Actions Taira asked to explain to EXCOM that in Japan the OD21 program was competing with other

programs in Japan for funding and support. Within Japan, 0D21 required the support of Monbusho and the Universities. Taira read a letter from Monbusho that endorsed and supported the OD21 ship proposed by STA/JAMSTEC. Monbusho and the ODP-Japan National Committee would work to ensure that the STA proposal served high scientific purposes and reflected the view of ODP/EXCOM in it planning (Appendices 15.0-15.1). Taira stressed that the purpose of the vessel was scientific, not technological or economic, and STA had confirmed this.

Taira reviewed a possible scenario for tiransition between the 0D21 and ODP (Appendix 15.2). The first stage was one of continued discussion and exchange between STA/JAMSTEC/JOIDES/ODPC. The next immediate step was to convene a workshop on science operation and management. The results of the three joint JOIDES-STA/JAMSTEC workshops on science, technology and operations/management would be used for the second and third stages of the transition. The second stage was for revision of the P C O M LRP to incorporate plarming for OD21 and a riser-capable vessel by the year 2003. The third stage was for member countries to begin to discuss the ODP-OD21 transition internally—COMPOST was an example of this. Taira urged EXCOM to begin to develop milestones for planning this ODP-OD21 transition.

Austin asked how the transition would figure in the ODPC charge to their upconting review of the program? Heinrichs said that the review ODPC was plarming was for looking at alteniate platforms in the 1999-2003 period, not 2003. This ODPC review was occurring because some partner commitments to ODP were only to 1998. In those cases, he did not think it would be . possible for those partners to commit to something in the 21st century until the post-98 period was committed to. Falvey did not think that a commitment in principle was a financial commitment prior to 2003. Heinrichs disagreed and thought that there would be financial requests prior to 2003.

Lancelot wanted to see more details on the development of the riser since this technology would greatly impact the general acceptance of the program and the kind of science that would be done on the platform. Lewis agreed that, the riser was the most important issue for long-term science planning. Beiersdorf stressed that tiie member countries needed to start to prepare themselves now for a b-ansition into a new program like this, in terms of both tine funding issues and management issues.

EXCOM discussed various strategies for planning an ODP-OD21 tiransition and at the conclusion of the discussion Nowell proposed the following motion:

EXCOM Minutes — June 28 - 29, 1994 21

E X C O M Motion, June 1994 - OD21 Proposal E X C O M welcomes and strongly supports the proposed Japanese plan for scientific drilling

in the 21st Century, including: construction of a riser drill ship; their expectations of a substantial contribution towards scientific outfitting and operation of this ship by partner countries; and their plan to schedule the ship through a JOIDES-like structure.

However, many unresolved issues exist relating to scientific outfitting, operation and management of the proposed Japanese drill ship. E X C O M and STA/JAMSTEC recommend that a small Working Group be convened in the near future to identify these issues and suggest mechanisms to resolve them. The W G should cortsist of appropriate representatives of ODP-Japan and STA/JAMSTEC, the present and future Chairs of P C O M and EXCOM, and the JOI ODP Director.

EXCOM recognizes that a major step in technology is required to match the need for advanced studies of Earth systems in the 21st Century.

EXCOM requests PCOM to develop the rationale and questions that would be addressed by a potential multiplatform operation, including riser drilling.

Nowell proposed, Malpas seconded vote: 13 in favor, 1 abstention, 2 absent. Coffee break 3:15 - 3:30 P M

After break EXCOM voted on and passed the motion. Purdy urged PCOM to send the relevant information on OD21 to the panels as soon as

possible. Lewis indicated that PCOM would be addressing tiiese long-range planning issues at the August meeting and tasking the Thematic and Services Panels with appropriate actions for their fall meetings. EXCOM requested that PCOM report to EXC OM on its long-range plarming activities, including the revised LRP, in January 1995.

Leinen brought up Japan's need for a commitment of funds and asked Taira when he thought that Japan would need to have a decision and get commitments? Taira explained that winter 1995 would be when operational costs would be estimated and a commitment would probably be required of O D P C / E X C O M orgaruzations. Briden noted that this would mean that the decision time for 1998 ODP renewal and OD21 commitment would coincide.

E X C O M concluded the discussion and adjourned. Adjournment .4:15 PM

EDRC MANDATE

EXCOM mandated that the EDRC should review two components of engineering development in JOIDES and at ODP:

(1) THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WITHIN ODP, if necessary recommending changes in the program structure used for engineering development.

(2) TEDCOM/ODP-TAMU/PCOM INTERACTIONS/in the context of the new mandate recommended by ASRC and approved by EXCOM in January 1994.

Prior to the first EDRC meeting, a third item was added for review after consultation among the PCOM Chairman, JOI and NSF:

(3) RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ODP-TAMU AND ITS ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT SUBCONTRACTORS, with a goal of optimizing efficiency of communications and ensuring cost effectiveness.

EDRC APPROACH

April, 1994: Written comments solicited from ODP-TAMU engineers Early May: First meeting at ODP-TAMU - interviewed engineers Mid-May: Draft report written by chairman Mid-June: Second meeting in Edinburgh - revised draft report Late June: Report presented to EXCOM

The EDRC considers its report final, other than minor Wording changes. Further revisions and/or meetings will be undertaken only if considered necessary by EXCOM.

EDRC POSITION ON PERSONNEL ISSUES

The EDRC mandate involves programmatic, structural, and personnel issues. As personnel issues fall within the purview of the ODP-TAMU Director's Office, the EDRC excluded them from its consideration, other than to emphasize that resolution of these issues is critical for the future of ODP-TAMU engineering development.

The ODP-TAMU engineers are highly skilled, competent, and motivated. However, their job morale suffers from poor leadership, over-commitment, and confusion about priorities and budigets. These arise from a combination of internal management issues and input from the JOIDES advisory structure and ODP scientific community, and are exacerbated by the pressures of the DCS development program.

< EDRC RECOMMENDATIONS

• The EDRC recommends the following standardized procedure for ail ODP-TAMU engineering development projects:

Procedures for Engineering Development (I)

(1) Define the scientific objectives of the project and the operational limits to be reached.

[PCOM, with advice from JOIDES panels]

(2) Deduce the technical means necessary to achieve the scientific objectives. [TEDCOM, Interacting with PCOM]

(3) Write the detailed technical specifications for these means. [ODP-TAMU, with TEDCOM feedback]

(4) (a) If these means are commercially available, make an exhaustive review in order to select a subcontractor;

(b) If these means do not exist commercially, make an exhaustive review of in-house expertise and available subcontractors in order to select a development strategy.

[ODP-TAMU, with TEDCOM advice]

EDRC RECOMMENDATIONS

Procedures for Engineering Development (II)

(5) Starting from the results of (4), establish and prioritize the development program and budget.

[ODP-TAMU/TEDCOM/PCOM/BCOM/JOIl

(6) Develop the specified tool/means, with as much on-land preliminary testing as is necessary and cost-effective.

[ODP-TAMU, with TEDCOM advice as needed]

(7) With shipboard testing as required. Implement the specified tool and its operational procedures for regular ODP use.

[ODP-TAMU, with PCOM scheduling test time]

(8) Follow up on experience to make any necessary improvements. [ODP-TAMU]

< EDRC RECOMMENDATIONS

ODP-TAMU Management Structure for Engineering Development

• The management for engineering/operations at ODP-TAMU should be made simpler and less top-heavy. The department should have a clear line of authority from a single departmental manager through two supervisors, one for operations, the other for engineering development.

• All engineering development projects, including really major efforts like DCS, should be assigned distinct budgets and project leaders who report to the supervisor of engineering development.

• Operations and engineering development should not be separated into two departments, as the crosstalk is absolutely essential for continued operational success. Nevertheless, their autonomy should be increased, with personnel and budgets clearly assigned to one primary function.

> •a •o <D 3 a. x'

EDRC RECOMMENDATIONS

Oversight of ODP-TAMU Engineering Development Subcontracts

• The ODP-TAMU director's office and engineering/operations manager urgently need to formulate policies for monitoring engineering development subcontracts, and the department manager should be responsible for seeing that these policies are rigorously followed.

c a Q .

< EDRC RECOMMENDATIONS

TEDCOM/ODP-TAMU/PCOM Interactions

The EDRC endorses the revised mandate for TEDCOM and the ASRC intent that TEDCOM be a more proactive committee.

TEDCOM's primary role in interacting with ODP-TAMU should be in project feasibility analysis and ensuing planning of a development effort, not in the day-to-day details of the development engineering.

The TEDCOM chairman should attend every PCOM meeting, to provide the technical advice that is essential for PCOM planning and prioritization.

The membership and chairmanship of TEDCOM should be reviewed regularly by TEDCOM/PCOM, to ensure that TEDCOM has the necessary expertise to advise on current ODP-TAMU engineering development efforts.

> T J •o (D 3 CL X • (O

EDRC RECOMMENDATIONS

Future DCS Development

The EDRC recommends that TEDCOM and its DCS subcommittee advise PCOM on the feasibility of continued DCS development. If TEDCOM considers DCS development feasible, then a full development plan should be established by ODP-TAMU/TEDCOM/PCOM, so that PCOM can properly prioritize continued DCS development.

''Internationalization'* of ODP • E X C O M (February 1994):

- "EXCOM endorses an international development strategy through the appointment of an Associate Director for International Relations in the JOL office and the establishment of an International Partnership Advisory Committee (Malpas, Raleigh, Beiersdorf).

E X C O M further recommends the allocation of commingled funds for this purpose covering salary, travel and office services. EPAC should be established immediately as an ad hoc committee, and work with JOI to develop a budget and detailed operating plan."

• Since February: *the Acting ODP Director has:

-polled the IPAC members individually for input as to how to proceed.

-polled the E X C O M as a whole for a sunnunary of past and present activities in this arena. Result: other than activities related to CAN-AUS attempts to seek a third partner, little has been done.

-suggested to BCOM/NSF that the most effective way to further this activity is for the new ODP Director (TEA) to take the lead, obviating the (immediate) need for a new hire at JOI, Inc.

*BCOM has: -allocated $50K to JOI, Inc. to support the new

ODP Director in this activity (see the F Y 95 Program Plan for details).

Appendix 6.2

S u b j e c t : P E C • I V

As part of its continuing responsibility to NSF to manage ODP, JOI Inc. must mandate and staff the program's fourth Performance Evaluation Committee during the June 1994 EXCOM-ODP Council meeting. The pertinent excerpt from the current contract is as follows:

"Task 1 : Management:

Evaluation -- The Contractor (i.e., JOI) shall establish and implement a program review procedure consisting of a panel of experts who will perform a detailed review and report on the management of the program and its performance. This review shall be conducted every three years beginning in FY 1995. The results and report shall be presented to NSF. Implementation of the recommendations of these reviews shall be developed in consultation with the Foundation."

PEC - IV must conduct its work during FY 95, and will probably report to EXCOM and the JOI BOG at their June 1995 meetings. This will be the last PEC before NSF begins active negotiations with ODP partners about extending ODP beyond 1998, so PEC - IV input may be crucial in heading off potential problems which could interfere with a successful conclusion to those discussions.

Co-Chief Scientist: Dr. Jeffery Karson, Duke University Co-Chief Scientist: Dr. Mathilde Cannat, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie TAMU Staff Scientist: Dr. Duane J. Miller, Texas A&M University

OBJECTIVES

It is essential to investigate the magmatic and tectonic processes in the lower

crust and upper mantle to gain an understanding of ocean spreading dynamics.

Recent studies of slow-spreading ridges suggest that magma chambers are not

permanent and that complex interplay among magmatism, deformation, and

hydrothermal processes may characterize seafloor spreading at these ridges.

Another characteristic of slow-spreading ridges is the common exposure of rocks of

deep crustal and upper mantle origin (gabbros and. peridotites) in the axial walls and

within the axial valley. Leg 153 was schediiled to core two sites in the western wall

of the MARK area (Mid-Atlantic Ridge/Kane fracture zone).

CONCLIJ.STDM.q

1. At Site 920, Leg 153 achieved some of the best penetration and recovery to date in massive serpentinized peridotite. Despite intense alteratiori of the rock to serpentinized harzburgite, primary mineralogy and textures can be inferred from distinctive pseudomorphs and local patches of relatively fresh material.

2. The numerous elongated segregations or veins of spinel, ciino-pyroxene, and plagioclase within the peridotite represent material that crystallized along former melt channels. Pegmatitic gabbroic intervals, a few centimenters to a few tens of centimeters thick, are also intercalated within the serpentinized harzburgite.

3. Deformation featiores testify to a complex strain history over progressively decreasing temperatures. Several distinct structural domains were recognized and are defined by early, high-temperature deformation features overprinted by an serpentine foliation which is later cut by generations of serpentine-bearing extensional and sheared veins.

4. The material recovered at Sites 921-924 displayed textural variations

indicative of crystallization in an enviroiunent of high thermal graciients and

syn- to post-magmatic-deformation. The rocks include meter-scale layers of

gabbro and olivine gabbro, with lesser troctolite and iron-titanium oxide

gabbro. Meter-scale diabase dikes with chilled margins are also present.

OBJECTIVES

Leg 154 was scheduled to drill a transect of sites down the eastern flank of Ceara Rise in an attempt to identify the past depth and shape of the mixing zone between northern- and southern-sources of deep water throughout the Neogene. Leg 154's primary objectives in constructing this.bathymetric transect were to:

1) . establish the history of deep water flow in the Atlantic since the Miocene and

determine the relationship between deep water circulation, chemistry, and

the earth's climate;

2) determine the history of carbonate production and dissolution in the

equatorial Atlantic in the Late Neogene, particularly in respeet to changes in

deep water circulation and the earth's climate; and

3) investigate the Cenozoic history of surface water and climate in the tropics,

particularly the record of nutrient-depleted sxirface water n 13C arid oceanic

An 13C.

CONCLUSIONS

1. Measurements of color, magnetic susceptibility, and natural gamma emissions documented sedimentation patterns and changes in accumulation which reflect both orbital and tectonic scales of climate variability.

2. The high-frequency changes in lithology during the last 7 m.y., forced by the orbital precession cycle, represent variations in the contribution of terrigenous input from the Amazon beginning about 8 Ma and caused by changes in regional climate or Andean uplift.

3. The modem bathymetric gradients of the carbonate fades were established at

-4.5 Ma, followed by a deaease in the carbonate concentration of the

sediments at all water depths, reflecting a gradually increasing rate of

weathering in the Amazon drainage basin as the Earth's climate deteriorated

and late Pleistocene gladations became more severe.

4. Superimposed on this long-term decrease in carbonate percent, there has been a deepening lysodine, i.e., a decrease in the difference in carbonate content between deep and shallow sites.

5. Future shore-based analyses will provide an opportunity to re-evaluate low-latitude Cenozoic biostratigraphy, establish an astronomical calibration of the Cenozoic time scale, model past atmospheric circulation, and study how ocean chemistry changed in response to Antarctic gladation and the erosional history of the Amazon Basin.

Co-Chief Scientist: Dr. Roger D. Flood, State University of New York

Co-Chief Scientist: Dr. David J.W. Piper, Bedford Institute of Oceanography TAMU Staff Scientist: Dr. Adam Klaus, Texas A & M University

OBTECTIVES

The Amazon fan was formed when the Amazon River discharged its sediment load directly onto the deep-sea due to low sea-level stands. Prior to Leg 155, no studies had been conducted to define the lithologies and ages of the sediments, and the relationship to sea-level change in these types of modem fans. Leg 155's primary objectives were to:

1) define the stratigraphy, date, and determine the accumulation rates of the major units , to define the relationship between the development of fan deposits, sea-level fluctuations, and the uplift of the Andes;

2) determine the sediment lithologies and sedimentary processes associated with acoustic fades and the relationship between these fades and sea-level fluctuations;

3) determine the nattire of depositional processes creating meandering distributary channel systems;.

4) establish a record of Pleistocene equatorial land climate and of surface circulation patterns in the western equatorial Atiantiq and

CONCLUSIONS

1. Leg 155'is 250,000-year record of continental and oceaiuc paleoclimate is potentially of the same high resolution as that of the Greenland ice cores, but in a critical equatorial area.

2. Leg 155 achieved the first-ever systematic coring of the entire thickness of a

debris flow on the mid-fan and of the sandy fill of an active aggrading

chaimel in a modem deep-sea fan, where transport distance and morphology

of the channel and levee are known. This documentation will provide a

reference for the interpretation of channel processes and link studies of

modem and andent sedimentary processes and sequences.

3; The Amazon deep-sea fan grew as a result of rapid deposition of channel-levee systems that have prograded across medium- to coarse-grained sands deposited at the downstream end of charmels. Bioturbated mud on the levee aests of abandoned channels accumulated at rates of 1-3 m/k.y., whereas the levees built by active chaimels accumulated at rates of 5-20 m/ky . This rapid gladal-age sediment accumulation is well illustrated by the recording of the Lake Mungo paleomagnetic excursion at sub-bottom depths of 24 to 150 meters.

4. Each major levee complex of the fan corresponds to a gladal stage and is

capped by an intergladal calcareous day. Within the latest Pleistocene levee

complex, major shifts in the position of the active channel have occurred by

avulsion on the upper fan every 5 to 10 k.y., whereas controls other than sea

level have resulted in fluctuations in the abundance of overbank silt on a

scale of 0.5-1.5 k.y. in many individual chaimel-levee systems. ,

OB.TECTIVES

Leg 156 is scheduled to drill three primary sites penetrating the decoUement zone and spanning the deformation front of the accretionary prism in an attempt to define the interrelationship of the dynamics of deeply sourced fluids, tectonic features, and geochemical signatures. Logging-while-drilling will be conducted at the three primary sites to provide compensated dual resistivity, gamma-ray, and density neutron data. Borehole seals will be emplaced to conduct long-term monitoring of fluid pressure and temperature. Leg 156's primary objectives are to:

1) investigate fluid pressure in and aroimd the decollement zone;

2) assess the permeability of prism sedimente and the assodated fault zones;

3) determine if fluid flow is continuous or episodic;

4) establish the spatial and temporal variations in fluid composition; particularly in comparison with the composition of veins and authigenic mineral phases; and

5) monitor the movement of a seismic amplitude anomaly in the decoll^ent zone Cbright spots' along faults) to determine if such anomalies represent pulses of migrating fluid (i.e. 'dilational strain waves').

PCOM Motion, April 1994 - PCOM Motion Pour Year Plan FY94 - FY97

The Ocean Drilling Program is thematically driven, as detailed in the Long Range Plan and White Papers presented by the program's Thematic Panels. La order to address some of those themes which are considered of high priority by the JOIDES advisory panels, and to provide for the development of necessary technology to achieve drilling targets, PCOM sets the direction of the drilling vessel for the next four years as follows: a) In the remainder of FY94, confirmed as the current

Program Plan (PCOM December 1993). b) In FY95, confirmed as the Program Plan approved at the

December 1993 PCOM meeting in Miami, noting that if SEDCO chooses to drydock the ship in Europe rather than Cape Town, Leg 159 wiU become the Eq. Adantic Transform program and aU subsequent legs wiU be moved up by one.

c) At present, higiily ranked and diillabie proposals exist for trie North Atlantic, the Caribbean and the East Pacific These, at • present, confine the likeiy operationai areas of the dxiilship for FY96. Themes addressed by these proposals induce Earth's response to impxiise (bolide) and orbi^ forcing, che nature of L=rg Igneous Provinces, sea-ievei variations, carbon c/cling as represented in upweHing zones, mass riuxes (induding rluid flow) in accretionary prisms, fluid flow at mid-ocean lidges and in trie ocean crust.

d) For FY97, we forecast a geographically much more diverse area of - operations, induding the Western Padfic, the South Atlantic and the Southern Oceans.

e) However, proposals for any ocean wruch address high priority themes appropriately investigated by ocean drilling are . -encDuffaged. Proposals received by the July 1,1994 deadline, that are subsequently highly-ranked, have the potential to modify the FY96 and subsequent ship trade. Proposals received by the January .1,1995 and the July 1,1995 deadlines, that are subsequently highiy-raniced, iiave the potential.to modify the PY97 and stibsequent ship tracc

PCOM recorrunends and forwards to EXCOM for approval the foUowing proposed mandate and terms of reference for Liaison Groups.

1.1 Liaison Groups may be established between JODDES and other international geoscience programs having a strong . interest in ocean drilling.

8. Liaison Groups: Mandate. As a formal means of ' communications, and especially to facilitate the exchange of beneficial information, JOIDES may establish a Liaison Group with any international geoscience program that has a strong interest in ocean drilling. Such groups may be approved by PCOM on the nomination of JOI Inc. For each Group, typically a Co-Chairman and one additional member will be appoiiited by an intemationai program to represent it, although with mutual consent the membership of a Group may be larger. PCOM and EXCOM members will not be members of Liaison Groups. Typically, Co-Chairmen will be invited to meet with PCOM at the simuner PCOM meeting.

PCOM Motion - JOIDES Liaison Groups

PCOM recognizes the importance of effective communications between JOIDES and other global geosciences programs having an interest in ocean drilling. PCOM thus affirms an earlier motion (November 1989) that allows the establishment of formal liaisons. Recognizing that many member of PCOM are also active participants in other global geosdence programs, the foUowing mandate is recommended to EXCOM for approval; Mandate for Liaisons to Global Geoscience Programs: . To facilitate effective and timely exchange of information^

PCOM may designate a formal liaison to national or intemationai initiatives in global geosciences. Liaisons may be proposed to the PCOM Chair, and will be elected

' by a majority vote of PCOM. It is anticipated that PCOM members with appropriate expertise will be chosen as liaisons, but if a suitable panel member is not found, PCOM may seek a liaison who is not a member of PCOM. Liaisons will typically attend at least one meeting per year of the designated program, and will report to PCOM as scheduled by the PCOM Chair.

Recommendations of the Computer RFP Evauiation Committee:

3. Establishment of a steering committee.

The committee is ple3sed to note that in principal TAMU welcomes the suggestion of a steering committee with functions described as follows:

The recommended Steering Committee would have the overall mandate to assist and guide the efforts of TAMU and the vendor in the development of the ODP Data Management System to insure that TAMU receives appropriate input from the final user community. While this mandate is directed at the specific development of the new Data Management System, it may be appropriate to extend the duration of the Steering Committee efforts to provide ongoing guidance and assistance to TAMU, in particular, the Information Systems Group at TAMU.

. The Role and Mandate for the Steering Committee is to provide overall and ongoing tedmical and management guidance to TAMU and its developer of the ODP Data Management System. Its specific tasks include: •

- Develop Program Goals - Assist in the implementation and review of a Data Policy for

JOI/JOIDES - Provide Technical and-Management Guidance for

development of the ODP Data Management system, in particular;

Assist in the development of the Statement of Work Review System Requirements and Design dbomients. Provide a Mechanism for providing guidance to TAMU and

it's developer in the nature and priorities of varioxis user requirements. The committee supports the proposal by ODP-TAMU to have the vendor products tested by the tentative list of users given in Appendix D,.

Agenda Motes — EXCOM Agenda Book, june 28 - 29.1994 ^ PP® OCf ix 13.2

3. Experience of the oil industry with deep water riser systems

The main features of offshore oil-field drilling are: - Use. of blow-out preventers (BOP), at the sea-bed for safety and pollution prevention.

5 1 ' - A riser (Size 18g" ~ 22 " O.D.) for mud drculation

- Choke/kill lines, hydraulic lines, booster lines and umbilical cables attached to riser pipe for well control and for BOP control.

Adoption of a riser/BOP combination not only increases hole stability, but also provides reliable means to control the well when gas and/or oil may be encoimtered, and it improves core recovery.

Great advances in offshore oil-field drilling in deep water were made in the 80's with the development of subsea systems. The, world record for deepwater drilling is a water depth of 7,500ft (=2,328m). This was achieved in 1988 using the drill-ship "Discoverer Seven Seas," and it still remains as the record. Since then, however, no drilling vessel has drilled with a riser system in water deeper that 2 km. There are technical barriers in using oil industry risers at around 2km water depth. Riser handling becomes critical and in the case of conventional oil-field risers, the natural frequency of the longitudinal response of the riser comes dose to the wave period. The resiilting resonance, especially in hung-off conditions, may cause riser failure.

4. 2 Km Riser

/AMSTEC's concept of the Zkm riser is similar to designs used in the oil-fieid industry, but with some differences. Features of the proposed JAMSTEC riser are: i) Smaller outside diameter (16" or less) ii) Use of high tensile steel and designed to new edition of

. -American Petroleum Iristitute specification APIRP16Q iii) Use of buoyancy modules for subsea weight control iv) WencontroicapabiHty(eqmpped with choke/kill lines for use with sea-floor BOP).

Agenda Notes - E.YCOM Agenda Book, /une2S - 29,1994 , Appendix 1 3.4

5. Options to develop riser in 4kin of water

JAMSTEC has undertaken a feasibility study of a 4kin riser design concept, including dynamic analysis in "hung-off' mode. This design shows that it is important to reduce mass of the riser and/or to reduce the heave motion of the ship while maintaining well control at the sea-floor.

To reduce m^s, a riser of smaJler size (16" or less) and of lighter material, such as titanium aUoy or composite material, can be employed. Result of JAMSTEC designs shows that a 4km riser with 16" size will avoid fracture caused by resonance if the upper half is made of steel and the lower half of titanium alloy, with buoyancy material on both parts. .

To reduce heave motion, an active heave compensation systern gives another potential solution to the resonance problem (in "hung-off' mode) and this may allow use of a full length steel riser with buoyancy materials.

Agenda Notes — EXCOM Agenda Book. June 28 - 29.1994

6. Recommendations of the working group.

1. The WG endorses the concept of an initial 2km industry type riser system of approximately 16" diameter with seafloor BOP control.

2. In general, the'WG endorses a phased approach to starting from the 2km industry type system to ultimate target of 4km, maintaining BOP control at the seafloor.

3. The WG suggests that JOIDES undertake a separate assessment of the feasibility of a 4km riser system with BOP control at the seafloor. '::.

Appendix 14.0

Status of Planning by STA/JAMSTEC at the joint EXCOM/ODPC-STA/JAMSTEC Meeting

on June 29. 1. Preface

STA and JAMSTEC have been considering an ocean drilling plan in the next centiny involving the development of a drilling vessel. As the ODP's implementation and also as the OECD Mega-Science Forum confirmed, this type of project should be developed and carried out through international cooperation, which is really essential. That is the reason we have discussed our plans at the EXCOM and PCOM meetings. We are glad that our efforts at co-hosting the Kyoto Workshop in February were able to provide important groundwork for cooperative efforts to realize the ocean drilling in the 21st century, 0D21. We are extremely grateful for cooperation by the GDP members.

Some of you may be wondering why we are planning the ocean drilling project, and also why we chose to take an active part in the international program. The first and most important reason is that we are considering that Japan should make a significant contribution to the international community in the field of basic science. The second is that the scientific results of deep sea drilling could benefit Japanese society with many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

Our plan will probably be perceived as an intemational cooperative project by the Japanese Government only through the evidence on understanding and cooperation of die related countries. When we ask for a budget appropriation, the Japanese financial authority will of course question us about the contribution to this plan fi^om related countries if this plan should be international. In this context, to realize our project, it is basically necessary for us to form a cooperative relationship with JOIDES, a world organization of scientists involved in deep sea drilling. JOIDES' voices could be of great help in realizing our plan. In this regard, the Kyoto Workshop and the recommendations adopted there were ± e first significant step toward realization of the plan. At the PCOM meeting in April, a motion to welcome Japan's planning for deep sea drilling was favored by the participants. This is also of considerable support for our domestic efforts. And also, if our plan reaches the implementation stage, it will not successfully proceed without voices of support from the concerned agencies of related countries.

The deep sea drilling vessel to be constructed is now under planning. Accordingly, specific intemational cooperative efforts are a subject to be discussed later. Before that, it is important for us to obtain some confirmation of a general cooperative relationship for GD21 among related counties. This will serve conspicuously in supporting our budgetary request to the financial authority in Japan.

Appendix 14.1

2. Development of riser technology

It would be technologically possible to develop a 4000m class riser system satisfying safety conditions for a certain length of time, but that development would involve considerable difficulty in terms of cost.

For the first step of 0D21, oil industry type riser system with asstired safety should be adopted being extended as long as possible beyond 2000m and still satisfying with the cost practicability. This would be the most effective way for us to actually implement the ocean drilling early in the 21st century. This phased approach is suitable to continue the ocean drilling program and the shortest way to materialize the 4000m class riser system within the 21st century.

Concerning the 4000 m riser system, its development and realization may be a subject to discussion after we complete the development of extended oil industry type riser and we will be able to reach the realizing step of the 0D21.

3. Idea on Management for 0D21

Basically, STA/JAMSTEC think that the management system should take after the ODP's: that is, an international organization of scientists for making scientific planning decisions.

The operational cost should be shared by participating countries as in the ODP, although countries' shares could be different from those in the ODP.

The ship's operation would be the responsibility of Japan. Concerning supporting bodies and facilities for the ODiZl, various options should be discussed, including the international sharing of responsibilities.

4. STA/JAMSTEC's current plan to realize 0D21

At this moment, STA cannot show a definite schedule because the entire cost has yet to be determined. However, we think it is necessary to present a tentatively planned time frame as a target in asking for JOIDES and related countries' cooperation.

5. STA's Consideration on construction of vessel and expecting support for vessel

STA/JAMSTEC would like to play a central role preparing new vessel for 0D21 realization. According to the current plan, Japan would fund the construction of vessel and the riser, but would expect the individual partner countries to provide for various supports as much as possible such as observatory instruments, research facilities, software, operational know-how, etc. This will not only help us to persuade our government, but will also be helpful in creating an international, easily available research facilities.

Appendix 15.0

cHiank you, Mr. Chairman.

I should like to explain the Monbusho's view of the future of ODP and its attitude toward the proposal of construction of a new drilling vessel by STA of Japan.

Since the origin of ODP, started as IPOD in 1975, ODP has been supported by NSF together with member countries as a model example of truly international collaboration. ODP's significant scientific achievement and spirit of international collaboration have been driven by fair science planning and management participated by highly motivated scientists and engineers.

. believes that it is important to make effort to continue such scientific ocean drilling in the 21st century. We believe that this is also general feeling among member countries.

It is general consensus in ODP that new drilling technology will be required in order to meet the requirements for the scientific planning and goals of future ocean drilling. In present ODP budget, it will be difficult to fulfi l l such technological requirements.

Therefore, we believe that it will be significant Japanese contribution to the development of science and technology in the world to construct a drilling vessel with new technological capability in order to meet the scientific goals of ocean drilling in the 21st century.

Monbusho and the National Committee of ODP-Japan cooperating with JOIDES will make effort in ensuring that the new proposal of STA will serve high scientific purposes and will reflect the views and hopes of the ODP/EXCOM in its planning.

While the management and operation of a new drilling vessel proposed by STA should be discussed later,. Monbusho would like to stress that the new drilling vessel should be incorporated into a new scientific program maintaining present style of international cooperation, recognizing that ODP's management and operation should be based on the planning by highly motivated scientists particularly in JOIDES, so far which has been successful in producing excellent research outcomes.

I am very much interested in having any comments or views to this idea from my colleagues of EXCOM which will be held tomorow afternoon discation for our further deliberation. Then, we will further develop our cooperation with STA with a view to realizing a new development of ODP.

Thank you for your attention.
