[Igc] GIS Notes

[Bill Farnsworth]

Everybody,

The Standard approved at the August 18 IGC-EC meeting - Idaho Land Cover Standard (S4240) - has been posted to the IGO website - ...  IGO<http://gis.idaho.gov/portal/coordination/standards.html> .
(posted toward the bottom of the page under - Land Use/Land Cover)

As it was brought up at the IGC-EC meeting, ITRMC decided to delegate the responsibility for developing and approving geospatial standards and guidelines to the IGC-EC. - ... ITRMC<http://itrmc.idaho.gov/> .
(From a practical perspective this has been the way it has worked in the past, the GIS community developing a standard, IGC-EC recommending to ITRMC that it be adopted and ITRMC voting to adopt it).

We had a meeting of the State Agency GIS people.  I thought it went very well and have had a lot of positive feedback.
The highlights are:
Discussed doing an ESRI enterprise license - we are working on gathering the information need to investigate this.
Continuing the discussions and providing better coordination among the State Agencies.
Coordination between the State Agencies and IGO on developing standards and other issues.
I will report on this at the next IGC-EC meeting.
Thanks for all the support I have received from everybody.


Cheers,
Bill
