GIS Merit System Positions

none

ITABJeff

idea of MERGIS moving to guard funding issue. During meeting the thought was they house data at National Guard. Take over what MSDIS does. ITAB took position against it. Funding doesnt go to guard they dont want it. Do we want to take a position on this? MISDIS is still going to be holder of the data. Tony we dont need to do anything right now. Jeff we should join in that we agree with ITAB. Liz we should make a statement that we agree with ITAB. They want to take all GIS into one place. With Sunshine Law changes we can hold back data that needs to be protected. Tony we need to make our position known for data stewardship. Debbie doesnt want to speak for her dept. Liz we can say that the current situation is working. Availabily of data is working, we dont want to change how we are handling data. Tony is there an issue of data protection, security? Make a motion that the GIS continue doing business with MSDIS as we have. Passed. Tom S. – Draft a letter to ITAB stating our stand. Tony will do a letter with new chair
