  * Identify and reduce duplication amongst sea ice developers using NEMO
  * Development of an improved strategy for sea ice within NEMO
- * Exploring potential future development scenarios for NEMO sea ice
+ * Leading the development of a unified sea ice model within the NEMO framework
+
+At the SIWG meeting (January 2017) it was unanimously agreed to pool resources and develop a common sea ice model within the NEMO framework.
+
+This option was seen as an outstanding opportunity to progress, value the available scientific expertise, and better use resources within the NEMO sea ice community.
+
+The transition to a new unified sea ice model will involve merging the desired functionalities from each of CICE, GELATO and LIM into a common code within the NEMO framework.
+
+The new model shall be called "Sea Ice modelling Integrated Initiative" SI^3 ("sea ice cubed" for short).
