Phase II Strategic Planning Project

The Phase 2 California GIS Strategic Plan Progress Report

• Over 100 people participated in seven Workshops. Workshop summaries can be downloaded from the links on the left of this page.
  
• The November 2007 Monthly Status Report highlights completed tasks, while summarizing tasks to be completed within the next several months.
  
• An overview presentation of the Strategic Planning presentation workshop is now available, for review by both those that could attend one or more workshops and those that could not attend a workshop but not wish to be involved in the Phase 2 Strategic Planning Online Forum.
  
• An Online Forum for Phase 2 Strategic Planning has been developed to obtain your feedback. Please respond as obtaining your feedback is a critical final phase of our project. We invite stakeholders and interested parties to take a look at the questions and respond to those where you have a strong opinion and important evidence to supplement the information collected during the online survey and workshops.
  
• The Framework Data Theme Handout provides a summary of geospatial framework data themes which were part of the California Geospatial Framework Data Draft Plan Project.
• The Phase 2 Strategic Planning Data Availability Snapshot can now be viewed, both to provide a summary of the Workshop results and to assist you in responding to the Online Forum.
  

CA GIS Strategic Plan Phase 2: Regional Participation
The California geospatial community, continuing the work of Phase 1 strategic planning, is soliciting, identifying, summarizing, and integrating regional perspectives into a Phase 2 GIS Strategic Plan. The product will contribute to the development of a California Spatial Data Infrastructure (CA-SDI), for improving the quality of life within California. Initial outreach began in September with an online survey, followed by a series of seven workshops across California in October and November. CGIA selected Michael Baker Jr., Inc. as the contractor for this FGDC Fifty States Grant-funded project. The Strategic Planning Project implementation is proceeding according to our work plan.
