Data DevelopmentRay Fox/Jeff Schloss

Talked with Ray Fox about Data Development in light of the Strategic Plan. There are items in the Strategic Plan that are not realistic at this time or should be moved around. JimLaScalaasks Pam Kelrick if she is willing to have changes to the Strategic Plan while changes to the Work Plan are occurring. Pam agrees that there are some things that need to be updated in the Strategic Plan. She would like to get through initial Work Plan changes that incorporate things already done in this fiscal year. She does want to review the Strategic Plan. Conversation between Jim and Pam. Jeff Schloss asked whether the Work Plan report for the current fiscal year should be reviewed by the subcommittee or the full MGISAC. Pam indicated that the Strategic Planning Subcommittee should review it before it is sent to the full MGISAC. Jeff Haney indicated that the full MGISAC should also review and approve the next report.
