The intergovernmental IOC-WMO-UNEP Committee for GOOS (I-GOOS) was initially established by the IOC Executive Council at its 25th Session in March 1992 as the IOC Committee for GOOS to replace the Committee on Ocean Processes and Climate. WMO and UNEP agreed to co-sponsor the Committee in 1993.

Participation to the I-GOOS Committee is open to all countries. Representatives to the Committee are designated by IOC Member states. IOC encourages Member States to include in their delegation those who are responsible for national contribution to GOOS. Further information on the 2006 call for national participation in I-GOOS can be found here. WMO, UNEP, ICSU, as well as other interested international organizations, are invited to participate.
