Dan Parr is the program chair and tickets to the conference can be obtained from him. Becky will call Dan to inquire about what he suggests we do to participate in the conference. There are approximately 30 organizations represented in the NWI GIS Forum membership. A set of criteria should be created to prioritize data. A survey should be sent to owners of data with a telephone follow-up to get information.
Historical data can be of use also.
Data considered should be of the widest interest to many users. Becky will compose a letter to NWI GIS members who have been absent from recent meetings to encourage their participation. Data owned by nonparticipants Data of interest to few agencies Data that has already been catalogued by Chicago Wilderness Society or IDEM Non-digital Other similar data layer exists that has already been selected for inclusion National datasets Back to the GIS Home Page .
