ITAB—Jeff Falter/Tony Spicci
Tony: Assuming they are meeting in January. Gerry Wethington still retired but there are rumors he might enter the private sector. Dan Ross is the new CIO/OA-DIS Director with a very full plate. Probably lots of new information at the February meeting. Tim: Dan Ross very interested in business cases, what is the state business case for GIT, garner his support early.
MACOG—Gary Mook
Doug: Lots of discussions with Mark Duewell and Tim Haithcoat, working on a National Map project, will provide great opportunity for regional planning commission. Also working with Arnold Williams at MODOT. All 17 non-urban regional planning committees have signed contracts with MODOT about transportation. Previously worked with SEMA on hazard mitigation. Contemplating representation from non-urban RPCs, different flavor from urban needs. Jim L: involve small communities near urban areas who are overwhelmed by the needs of the metro areas. Discussion.
MAGIC—Tim Haithcoat
Meeting January 27, conference planning in full swing. MAGIC just received $5,000 from NASA for remote sensing workshop, will hold regionally. Debbie: Mutual Aid agreement? Tim: draft form, still accepting comments, will distribute via MAGIC lists. Tony: in cooperation with FEMA. Discussion.
MORAP—Diane True
Land use/Land cover finished, working on QA/QC. Official rollout will be at MOGIS.
MMA—Kim Swisher
No Report
NSGIC—Tony Spicci
There is an incredible amount of activity. Getting sucked into a lot of federal projects. NGPO teams, Tony in governance, Tim in architecture. Teams were to complete work in 90 days, have been extended 90 days. Tim: evolving into a Federal CIO group. Tony: Geospatial One Stop contract has been awarded but not announced. Effort to combine GOS, National Map, and Ramona. USGS doing the right thing, very exciting, lots of work. NSGIC using 50 states initiative, contacting Legislators, staffers about importance of geospatial at the state level. Federal would provide money but would require coordination. Working on DHS good relationship, somewhat lacking. ESRI Federal User conference in February, NSGIC mid-year in Annapolis in March, annual in Rochester in December.
OIT—Tom Stokes
Dan Ross very interested in GIS, training, architecture. MGISAC should coordinate efforts across represented organizations, need to manage what's going on with the state, start with city, state level. Would be a good idea to compile current initiatives, tools. Looking to eliminate duplicate effort. Discussion. Cross-subcommittee group will meet to arrange details (DD, JL, SM, DB, MD) Discussion.
