SECRETARIAT PAPER 



Present and future workload of the IOC Secretariat and corresponding 



requirements in staff and funds 



1. At the present time the professional staff of the Office of Oceanography 

 spends daily 20 hours on the IOC work proper. The repartition of this 

 time is as follows : 



i. Director (Secretary, IOC) .... 8 hrs. 



ii. Assistant Secretary k hrs. 



iii. 2-nd P-5 specialist 6 hrs. 



iv. Marine biologist 1 hr. 



V. Administrative assistant 1 hr. 



Total 20 hrs. 



In addition to this the same staff spends daily no less than 30 hours 

 on UNESCO programme proper. 



2. To ensure a normal production rate and fruitful consideration of problems 

 in their charge, the present workload as regards IOC should be reduced by 

 half per unit staff. Consequently, for the same total workload resulting 

 from the present IOC programme, the Secretariat of the Commission should 

 consist of at least 5 professional staff members working full day (8 hours) 

 exclusively on IOC problems.
