Action Items for Next Meeting Committee members should review the Standards Sanctioning Process diagram and forward comments to Cialek. By mid-September, they will circulate a draft copy of the handbook to the Committee for comments. Comments on the proposed cadastral standards workshop should be sent to Cialek. The process replaces the one that existed with the former Information Policy Office.
Further work needs to be done to develop the implementation strategies portion.
The Committee agreed that sanctioning by IPC helps to make standards more widely known and longer-lived. It also helps extend the Committee's work beyond the GIS community to the broader IT community. Cialek suggested increasing involvement with people who are effectively coordinating standards work within their own offices. Bentley expressed the need to periodically review existing sanctioned standards to see whether they need updating. Bentley is leaving the Office of Technology to take a job with the private sector.
