  5. "Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them. They make the impossible happen." — Dr. Robert Jarvik, 20th-century American heart surgeon

  6. Identify the characteristics of effective statewide coordination and coordinating bodies Outline steps that can be taken to implement this initiative “Statewide” includes Washington D.C. and the U.S. Territories Purpose of the Action Plan

  7. Further define NSGIC’s 9 coordination criteria Full-time coordinator Defined authority Formal relationship with state CIO Political or Executive Champion NSDI and Clearinghouse responsibilities assigned Can coordinate with local government, academia and the private sector Sustainable funding Contracting authority Federal government works through Council Proposed Strategy

  8. Newly Defined Council Characteristics Broad Representation Strategic Plan tied to NSDI Business and Marketing Plan Formal authorization including bylaws Linkage to the nine coordination criteria Funding support to enable the operation Proposed Strategy

  9. Coordination Council Activities Data sharing agreements unless all are in public domain Published list of stewards/integrators for framework layers (minimum) Framework posted to clearinghouse Routinely creating metadata Functioning clearinghouse/inventory tool Participate in The National Map Adoption of OGC standards Proposed Strategy

  10. Public Relations Materials to Assist Implementing Program “Classic” PR materials that can be “digested” in 30 seconds or less Professional print, web and video resources to present non-technical information on value of enterprise architecture, coordination, etc. Success stories Proposed Strategy

  11. Delivering the message FGDC/NSGIC engage NASCIO, NGA, WGA, NACo, NCSL, etc. to implement plan Make representatives available for presentations Federal grants conditioned on participation Letters of support from targeted Federal agencies to Governor and CIO in each state Replace previous Cooperating Partner agreements with new agreements conditioned on participation Cooperating partners should be at NSDI governance meetings NSGIC/FGDC will promote use of this guidance for the Digital States Survey Proposed Strategy

  12. Other Pieces Federal agencies establish assistance programs that are targeted and tailored to local needs Measure improvement in statewide coordination activities (benchmark established) Proposed Strategy

  13. Other measurements Percentage of completion for framework that is contributed Business plans that detail funding levels required Number of Cooperating Partner Agreements Number of Steward/Integrator Agreements Clearinghouse Measures (automated) Participation by local governments and others Proposed Strategy

  14. Direct and Indirect Expenses NSDI PO Staff Base funding States contribute a “home” to Liaison Operating budget including travel Funding to complete strategic and business planning process Include contractor support when needed PR Materials (~$50K) The Costs to Implement

  15. Team Roster State-by-state impediments to implementing The National Map State-by-state incentives needed to participate in The National Map Baseline measure on Statewide Coordination Appendices

  16. Become the “single voice” for all Federal agencies Help fund development of statewide councils by supporting strategic and business plan development Implement uniform grant guidance and conditions Provide access to grant programs only for those states with Cooperator Agreements and a good track record The FGDC can make this happen!!!

  17. “You can only govern men by serving them.”  — Victor Cousin, French philosopher (1792-1867)
