Benchmark → Wageningen carryover tracker
NoteWhat this is

A single register tracing each SCW16 benchmark (Lima) outcome through its TG-05 close-out to its Wageningen owner and status. Use it to drive the TG-05 call and then as the live status board during the workshop. Pair it with the chair running sheet and the benchmark→MSE transition note (Doc01).

Status legend: 🔒 closed/fixed · ⚠️ open — close at TG-05 · 🔁 carried to Wageningen · 📋 diagnostic only. Items marked [confirm] are inferred from existing SCW17 materials and need checking against the SCW16 report. Updated: 10 June 2026

A. Items the benchmark closed (carry as fixed)

These need no decision at TG-05 — confirm they are correctly reflected in the OM and move on.

# Benchmark outcome Status Carried into Owner at Wageningen
A1 JJM assessment structure as MSE engine 🔒 OM conditioning (conditionJJOMFLjjm) WMR (Iago, Karolina)
A2 Productivity grid ll/ls/hl/hs (steepness × SR period) 🔒 Reference-set OM axis WMR
A3 Fishery partition (N_Chile, SC_Chile_PS, FarNorth, Offshore_Trawl) 🔒 split.is catch allocation WMR
A4 Index set (Chile_AcousCS/N, Offshore_CPUE, Chile_CPUE, Peru_CPUE) 🔒 OEM + MP data streams WMR
A5 Reference-point framing: MSY sensitive, SPR / dynamic-Bzero stable 🔒 framing Status-metric convention (see B2) Chair

B. Items TG-05 must close (the open list)

These are the six TG-05 decisions. Each must end the call either decided or replaced by its documented fallback.

# Open item TG-05 slot Decision needed Fallback if not closed Wageningen owner
B1 Stock-hypothesis treatment (h1 / h2 / weighted) 15:05–15:20 How h1/h2 enter advice Carry both as parallel axes; weight at Tue OM sign-off Chair + WMR
B2 Performance metrics, horizons (5/10/20 yr), risk band 15:20–15:35 Final metric list + risk tolerance Adopt March working-papers list verbatim; revisit horizons only Chair
B3 Freeze MP register (data, lag, tuning, HCR, Buffer/K60) 15:35–15:55 Frozen candidate set; no new MPs after Carry TG-04 set; new MPs comparison-only WMR + Chile + Peru
B4 Robustness scenario matrix + pass/fail criteria 15:55–16:15 Reference vs. robustness set; advancement criteria TG-04 reference set + ENSO offshore-drop only WMR
B5 Cross-platform validation owners (FLR vs. RTMB/OpenMSE) 16:15–16:25 Named owners + deadlines Chair appoints owners by name in minutes WMR / Chile / Peru
B6 Wageningen format + decision protocol 16:25–16:30 Trade-off display + report-out cadence Chair proposes; circulate within 48 h Chair

C. Conditioning choices folded into the workshop

Left open by the benchmark but resolved during the Wageningen technical days rather than at TG-05.

# Item Status Resolved when Owner Note
C1 Recruitment-regime treatment, σR, steepness priors, far-north handling 🔁 Tue 16 Jun 13:00–14:30 WMR + Chair [confirm] prior values from SCW16
C2 ENSO / offshore-drop scenario parameters (magnitude, duration, recovery) 🔁 Tue 16 Jun 14:30–15:30 WMR + Chile Tie to 2026 acoustic + CPUE signals
C3 Reference-point convention for MSE status (depletion vs. dynamic-Bzero; F35% proxy) ⚠️→🔁 Mon 15 Jun 10:45–12:00 walkthrough; confirm at TG-05 if possible Chair [confirm]
C4 OM grid sign-off (no OM changes after) 🔁 Tue 16 Jun 15:45–17:00 Chair Hard gate

D. Diagnostics — carried for interpretation, not as constraints

# Item Status Disposition
D1 Far-north selectivity flexibility 📋 Sensitivity only; [confirm] whether to elevate to robustness scenario
D2 Terminal-year selectivity / weight-at-age effects on BMSY 📋 Explains preference for productivity-robust status; not an axis
D3 Individual CPUE index reliability 📋 Informs MP data-stream choice (handled in B3), not an OM axis
D4 Benchmark retrospective / hindcast diagnostics 📋 [confirm] acceptance checks vs. scenarios

E. Post-TG-05 → Wageningen close-out chain

When Action Owner
Within 48 h of TG-05 Circulate frozen decisions (B1–B6) + Wageningen-week agenda Chair
Mon 15 Jun AM Doc01 walkthrough; confirm fixed inputs (Section A) Chair
Tue 16 Jun Close C1–C4; OM block sign-off WMR + Chair
Wed 17 Jun First integrated CMP results on reference OM WMR
Thu 18 Jun PM CMP shortlist for SC14 decided Chair (plenary)
Fri 19 Jun Shortlist rationale; exceptional-circumstances meta-rules; SC14 drafting assignments Chair
TT-06 (Thu 9 Jul) Post-Wageningen review Chair

How to use this during the call

Run top to bottom. Section A is a 60-second confirmation. Section B is the meeting — each row gets its time-box, and you mark it 🔒 (closed) or note the fallback invoked. Sections C and D you only touch if a member tries to re-open something that is already assigned to the workshop or parked as diagnostic — point at the row and move on.
