AGENDA
Geospatial Committees and Workgroups Guide
Last updated January 31, 2013
Current Committees: Digital Cadastral Data, Digital Elevation and its LiDAR Research and Education
Subcommittee, Emergency Preparedness, Hydrography, Outreach, Standards
Current Workgroups: Geocoding, Geospatial Commons, Metadata
1. Formation of Committees or Workgroups
a. The State Chief Geospatial Information Officer (CGIO) will recommend to the Geospatial
Technical Committee the formation of a committee or workgroup with advice from the
geospatial community.
b. Committee and Workgroup Formation Criteria
i. Supports MN.IT and state geospatial activities and priorities
ii. Addresses important community purpose or impact, including grass roots efforts
iii. Legislation, other mandate or significant opportunity
2. Governance
a. Authorization - State Geospatial Technical Committee has authority to create and disband
based on advice from the CGIO.
b. MnGeo committees and workgroups will report to the CGIO (MnGeo Director)
c. Operation
i. A Chair and vice chair (focal point and backup) will be identified by the committee
or workgroup and approved by the CGIO.
ii. Committee and workgroup focus is to develop ideas, attain consensus, perform
research and/or produce deliverables
iii. Committees and workgroups can create sub-groups to accomplish their purpose
iv. Committees and workgroups should meet periodically so that they get things done.
Suggestion: Committees meet at least 4 times/year and workgroups meet at least 6
times/year. More if necessary to meet objectives and goals. Meetings can be
conducted remotely.
v. Committee/workgroup “Members” are persons who are actively participating in
committee/workgroup meetings and work. Committee/workgroup charters in
general and work plans in detail will delineate member duties and responsibilities.
vi. “Interested Parties” are persons who want to be informed of
committee/workgroup activity but are not active members
vii. Suggested Committee and Workgroup size: Committees generally have 6 to 20
members, and workgroups 4 to 8 members

MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
 List of comments from
both Councils
 Updated guide
The following information is intended to provide direction to and help guide MnGeo committees and
workgroups. Committees are more on-going than workgroups. An effort that is long-term, lasting more
than a year, and has multiple phases or iterations is appropriate for a committee, while efforts that are
short-term with a limited focus or that produce a specific set of deliverables will be appropriate for a
workgroup. Resourced projects with a project steering committee are not a MnGeo geospatial
committee or workgroup as described here.
 Geospatial Commons - budget
 MnGeo Legislation (Housekeeping, eliminate State
Gov. Council, data sharing)
 Discussion: How do we get detailed input about
adverse impacts of data sharing?
Other legislation that members are aware
of affecting our community?
MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
2013 Legislative Session
 Products not covered by ELA
 Regional and local, government – discounts for software and PT
 Managed Services
 Who wants/needs it?
 How do we approach it?
 Cloud services security concerns?

MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
 What is it?
 Master Purchase Agreement –
MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
Geospatial Optimization
Geospatial Technical Committee – members, meeting(s)
MnGeo Priorities – What projects will MnGeo focus on?
 standardize agency policies and management practices
 develop functional alignment between MN.IT Central
and agency-based offices in order to better define roles,
skills and expectations and to foster collaboration and
interoperability.”
 overarching goal of the MN.IT Cloud service strategies
is to align service delivery functions across the
enterprise
MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
 implement organizational consistency
 Standard geospatial services are integrated in the MN.IT
Service Catalog.
 Enterprise geospatial needs are identified and prioritized.
 MN.IT is supported by a single set of geospatial policies
and standards.
 Geospatial services leverage common infrastructure,
application and data management processes and tools.
MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
 We will improve service level management for
geospatial services and align agency geospatial
resources appropriately within MN.IT, with the following
objectives:
 Two primary efforts at this time:
1. Infrastructure and Data optimization
 MN Geospatial Commons
2. Service Catalog
 SharePoint Sites
 Working on hiring a PM
 More to come
CKAN Example: OpenColorado.org

MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
 Small teams working together to take a first cut
 The approach
 We will align other with projects where we can (e.g.
MN Geospatial Commons with Infrastructure, hosting
and data management)
 We will need to identify resources to work on these
 We will need to balance with the business need
 Need to be complete in two years
 This will likely limit our ability to engage in some new
efforts
 Meeting with larger agencies first
MnGeo State Government Advisory Council Meeting
 Decision - One project or many?
