  1. National Geospatial Advisory Committee Discussion of FGDC Guidance to NGAC March 18, 2011 National Geospatial Advisory Committee

  2. 2011 FGDC Guidance – Key Elements • Innovative Strategies for Geospatial Programs and Partnerships • Geospatial Platform Implementation • Geospatial Workforce Development • Emerging Technologies • Geospatial Partnerships with Tribal Governments • Geospatial Programs and Initiatives • Broadband Mapping • National Parcel Data • Geolocation Privacy • Transportation for the Nation • National Elevation Data

  3. Innovative Strategies for Geospatial Programs and Partnerships Guidance: Provide feedback and recommendations on how FGDC partner agencies can: • Strategically leverage and influence technologies, policies, & trends • Foster a data integration environment that facilitates better decision-making and supports place-based policies • Utilize public-private partnerships and other innovative solutions to develop geospatial data, fill critical data gaps, and leverage scarce resources. Potential Approach & Focus • Establish a small task team to explore the issue starting from the work of previous subcommittees (Partnerships , Policy, etc.) • Draft recommendations & solicit additional ideas by June meeting • Draft a White Paper for further discussion at the October meeting

  4. Geospatial Platform Implementation Guidance: Upon request of the FGDC, provide feedback and advice on opportunities to facilitate interagency and intergovernmental collaboration in implementing the Geospatial Platform. Potential Approach & Focus • Continue the current Subcommittee. Add new members. • Address current and future requests from the FGDC Community. • What specific offerings (data, services, applications) are available from State/Regional/Local/Tribal governments that could be integrated with the Federal Geospatial Platform in the short term? • What incentives could the Federal government consider to encourage non-Federal contributions to the Platform? • What are the best mechanisms for identifying ongoing requirements and potential contributions to the Platform from our State/Regional/Local/Tribal partners?

  5. Geospatial Workforce Guidance: Provide recommendations on possible approaches to develop intergovernmental and public-private strategies to facilitate the development, training, and retention of a highly skilled workforce to meet the expanding geospatial needs of public and private-sector organizations. Potential Approach & Focus • Continue the current Subcommittee. Add new members. • Continue to research and assess geospatial workforce-related studies and activities currently planned or underway • Examine opportunities for synergies with the Administration’s STEM education initiatives. • Assess potential role/involvement/support from FGDC & NGAC • Engage in dialogue with DOL & OPM

  6. Emerging Technologies Guidance: Provide analysis, advice, and recommendations on the impacts that new and emerging technologies are likely to have on the management and use of federal geospatial data and programs. Potential Approach & Focus • Continue the current subcommittee. Add new members. • Identify opportunities to utilize cloud computing technology and resources in innovative ways to support geospatial programs. • Continue to make members and FGDC Community aware of new technologies and impacts on geospatial data, applications, and practices.

  7. Geospatial Partnerships with Tribal Governments Guidance: Provide advice and recommendations on innovative approaches to develop collaborative partnerships with Tribal governments to foster effective development of geospatial data and capabilities. Potential Approach & Focus • Establish an exploratory task team to research current practices and opportunities • Report results and recommendations to the NGAC at the June meeting • Determine next steps to address this issue areas

  8. Geospatial Programs & Initiatives Guidance: Provide feedback and recommendations on key Federal geospatial initiatives, programs, and issues, upon request from the FGDC partner agencies through the DFO. Examples may include but are not limited to: Broadband Mapping, National Parcel Data, Geolocation Privacy, Transportation for the Nation, and National Elevation Data. Potential Approach & Focus • Identify an NGAC Point of Contact (POC) for each identified program or initiative • POC will coordinate with FGDC and Program Manager • POC will report back to NGAC members as needed • Active programs and issues may require a Task Team
