Governance Activities

• OMB Memorandum M-06-07 Designation of Senior
  Agency Officials for Geospatial Information

  of Business initiative both identified the need
  to develop a multi-sector geospatial governance
  committee

17
NSDI Governance - Options

• DOI/FGDC federal partners have reviewed several
  options to implement governance committee
• Consensus advice from OMB, DOI Solicitors
  Office, and GSA Office of Committee Management is
  that a committee organized under the Federal
  Advisory Committee Act (FACA) is most effective
  means to establish national geospatial advisory
  body.

• DOI and FGDC will work collaboratively with
  partners to develop and establish committee.

  membership categories for review by DOI, OMB,
