My initial comments:

1. I like the list very much.  It is simple to read and understand.
2. I’m very happy to see issue reference #3 on the list.  Existing data is of no use if it is not available when you need it.
3. Regarding reference #28 (uniform roads dataset), I would also like to see a report that lists what road segments have been modified.  Any segment where the attribute or spatial properties have been modified would be on the list.  As well as the obvious attributes such as id, name and town, the report would list the date of the change and the type(s) of change (addition, removal, spatial change or attribute change).

Subject: Planning Project Update

In a continuing effort to keep the Maine GeoSpatial community aware of the actions taking place on the GeoLibrary Board's strategic planning efforts, the Sewall Team has summarized input received from the Maine Geospatial community, the 2002 Strategic Plan and the GeoLibrary Board and provided the following chart entitled, "Overall Maine GeoSpatial Listing of Issues and Action Items."  The chart attempts to summarize the action items and issues needing resolution.  Each issue or action item has a "potential solution" indicated for it, a time frame for implementation and a priority.

We would appreciate it if you could take a look at this summary and provide us with input on them by sending an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] with the subject heading noted as "Maine Stakeholder Input."

Once again, we thank you for your time and effort.

On behalf of Bill Hanson, GeoLibrary board chair…
