7. WGTMR's plan for 2023 and beyond (All)
Discussion points:
•	The WGTMR-related science projects will end in 2022 or 2023. What new projects shall we initiate to address the WGTMR priorities?
•	TC-PFP is under TLFDP but will outlive TLFDP. What will happen to TC-PFP after TLFDP ends?
suggested action items:
•	The science teams are encouraged to discuss and identify their legacy at their next annual meeting
•	TC-PFP may be transitioned to a Forecasting Demonstration Project (FDP) following the TORs of FDP.
•	The topics of new projects can be chosen based on IWTC and IWM recommendations. We can draw recommendations from past workshops to avoid any delay.
•	Liz and Raizan will collect more information on potential topics for new projects
•	The next WGTMR telecon will be held in Feb 2022
