Mike Ouimet reminded all of the TGIC day away tentatively scheduled for July 16 th . He also stated that at the last TGIC meeting an emergency response subcommittee was formed. There are basically two types of groups, those that stay around and those that go away, i.e., standing and ad hoc. The majority of groups are ad hoc such as the SAPs, the LULC, and the standards groups. A standing group should report up.
Most people find it easier to join an ad hoc group.
Rob reminded us of Gordon Wells' elevation working group and the interest in a group to discuss addressing. Richard Egg asked what the time line on all these groups is. He suggested that Mike look at other states to see if there are equivalent groups. Rob spoke to the need to produce white papers which can serve as the basis of the next Texas GIS plan. Drew Decker offered that the day away might serve as a time to discuss process.
