Centres (NICs) of the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System
(GISRS).

This transition process will conclude on 31 December 2025, and the revised
NIC TOR will enter into effect on 1 January 2026.

This message serves as a reminder to request your Office’s response,
including the following:

*	Acknowledgement of receipt of the revised NIC TOR and confirmation
of the NIC’s continued participation under the revised TOR, in

reference to page 4, paragraphs 9 and 10 of the revised NIC TOR.

Your response is kindly requested on or before 31 December 2025. In the
