International Global Radar Imaging Data Service (IGRIDS)

Establishing an inclusive governance structure for IGRIDS to empower users, promote diverse representation, and coordinate operations efficiently. This framework includes committees, regular meetings, and interface with agencies and organizations. Ad hoc and permanent committees will address technical issues, events, and long-range planning, reporting to the Coordinating Board. Existing organizations like WiNSAR and UNAVCO will play crucial roles under the IGRIDS umbrella. The headquarters will need an initial budget to kickstart operations effectively.
