Data DevelopmentRay Fox/Jeff Schloss

Met with MACOG technical representatives on August 30. Sixteen of nineteen represented. Discussed function of the Data Development subcommittee. Mentioned working on leaf-off orthoimagery for the state. Online questionnaire coming. Technical staff would be the beta test of the survey and refer questions back to the subcommittee. Representatives would help refer local government staff to the survey. Mark D: Could there be a flyer or fact sheet about the subcommittee? Ray: Sure. Mark: Nathan Mattox says a letter is going out which could fill this function. Ray: Links to the information about the orthoimagery effort provided. Tony S: Have you seen the NSGIC draft for Imagery for the Nation? Ray: No. Tony: Will be formally introduced at NSGIC Annual in Rochester. Tim H: Proposal calls for baseline funding for 1-meter orthoimagery every three years; states or locals could buy up to 1-foot or 6-inch as needed. Tony: A four-page brochure will be released soon. Mark: We are averaging a call a day asking about flying imagery. We are advising callers to fly if they have a reason to. Ray: USGS would welcome Imagery for the Nationit is something they’ve been pushing for years. NDOT, MAPPS are also involved. Diane T: a parallel group will meet at the end of October.

Strategic PlanningPam Kelrick

Pam K via email:

• The Strategic Planning Subcommittee addressed the following items at the last meeting:
• National Spatial Data Infrastructure Partnership Agreement
• Final review of the 2004-2005 Annual Work Plan Report
• Initial discussion for the 2005-2006 Work Plan
• The National Spatial Data Infrastructure Partnership Agreement has been reviewed by the Strategic Planning Subcommittee and passed back to Ray Fox for appropriate signatures. The 04-05 Work Plan Report was submitted to Jeff Falter in time for the August ITAB meeting. The report has also been submitted to David Drum to be posted on the MGISAC website.
• Goals and objectives have been requested from every Subcommittee Chair for the 05-06 Work Plan. To date I have only received two submissions. The request for goals and objectives have been posed to subcommittee chairs so that work assignment and responsibility will be clear. I have requested that every subcommittee chair submit at least one goal and objective (hopefully more for most of you) for the year in order to compile a more comprehensive document about the work being done and yet to be done. These goals and objectives will be compiled into a slightly different format than in the past. The new format is meant to clarify responsibility for work items. In the past, the Objective and Action items have been identical to the Strategic Plan objective and action items, which is meant to outline work for 5 years. I am requesting that subcommittee chairs submit goals and objectives that are specifically for 1 year of work that will be a step towards achieving a 5 year goal/objective.
• If you have any questions about submitting goals and objectives, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. We are already 3 months into this work plan year; please submit your goals and objectives as soon as possible. I will send out a reminder to subcommittee chairs by October 1 if I have not received your goals and objectives. If I do not receive your submission very soon thereafter, we will assume that your subcommittee is inactive.

Ray F: I have a copy of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Partnership Agreement as approved by the committee. Unfortunately Jeff F is not here today to sign it. Will send it to USGS-Denver first, instead. Signed copy will then come back to Jeff.

Right now they don’t know what to do with it.
Tom S: Action items: phone bridge for November meeting; goals and objectives to Pam K; new chair for Data Policy & Legislation subcommittee.
