Standards - Metadata Standard
The committee met and developed a draft. Lesley Beardon helped with the draft. She discussed the draft with the committee and the draft is available for committee review. In discussion some comments were aired.

• It was pointed out that a raster data component was added. Is it necessary? Lesley suggests that Section 1 and 2 of the raster data should be moved to a different section. It should be included, but not in the abstract.
• Points of contact may be different, make sure to note that and have appropriate documentation
• The committee is to review Missouri Mandatory fields.
• Lineage section, the Ômandatory if applicableÕ is confusing. Suggest making it mandatory.
• Row count, Column count
• Darryl suggests that we make a template of the recommended field. One each for vector, and raster. Committee concurs. Lesley will make template.
• Committee has one month to review; comments by next meeting. Jo Ann to forward a digital copy.

Standards - Addressing Standard
Fast tracked to a certain extent. Bill Perkins and Mike Benzen would like a presentation to the Information Technology Planning Board at the April meeting. Advancing the idea of a single master address file (non-proprietary), no names attached only physical structures, 2-3 FTEÕs to maintain, and MoDOT was suggested as a possible maintenance group. Tony will ask Tim to send via email the position paper presented thus far.

MAGIC 2000: Ann Peton asked for a Missouri Keynote; Suggestions ø Addressing Standard, Joe Englin (DNR).

State Mapping Advisory Council (SMAC): Mike Benzen approved the CommitteeÕs taking the lead on SMAC. Darryl Williams will set up a meeting at the USGS. Darryl also spoke with Jim Williams at DNR. DNR stated that they cannot take on the SMAC. SMAC will become a standing subcommittee of this group.

GIS-CIT Crosswalk: Tony provided an update. Committee was concerned about listing ÔgeographyÕ background as a requirement. Was this indeed added. Need further clarification.

GIS Education Effort: Tony passed the survey out to the Committee for comment. He mentioned that there will be Arc8 training for all at the MoTEC April 11-14.

Pending Legislation: Tony passed out two pieces of pending legislation. Senate Bill No. 1009 and Senate Bill No. 965

Committee Nominations:

Darryl suggested that OIT should send representation to the meeting.

Open Discussion: The MSDIS web site was brought up. It needs to be updated. Glenn Barber has been assigned to form a subcommittee to suggest improvements to the site.
