Abstract. This paper outlines the scope, development and publication of data requirements for a set of reference climate simulations, and describes the methodology used to gather and synthesise them into a cohesive 'Data Request' usable by data producers. The simulations supported by this Data Request comprise the initial phase of the next upgrade of research activities under the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Dunne et al. (2025) set out the scientific scope and objectives of the Assessment Fast Track and its role in initiating the seventh phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP7), a key part of the next WCRP activity upgrade. Building on the successes of past CMIP phases which have supported an ever-expanding scope of work, the Data Request Task Team reached out to new communities to enhance engagement in CMIP. A transparent and community-led approach was adopted, where domain experts from the CMIP community were recruited into five teams by domain called 'Thematic Author Teams' to co-create data requirements through wide consultation. This paper describes the process of gathering data requirements in the initial phase of CMIP7, along with the structure of the CMIP7 Data Request itself. Version 1.2.2.3 of the CMIP7 Data Request (DR7) covers the data production requirements for i) control simulations of the past climate (both distant and recent), ii) key sensitivity experiments focusing on critical aspects of climate and model behaviour, and iii) a ...
