IFTN Update as of 7/6/09 (updated)

IFTN Update following the June 24 Champions and Chairs meeting

A draft record of decision was presented to the executive champions, with presentations and discussion on the topics of the high-resolution, governance, funding, and hosting and archiving strategies.

Continuing support for IFTN was voiced by the executives, along with a strong intent to move on to complete the Phase 1 plan.

Revisions to the record of decision are being worked by the IFTN Chairs to be distributed to the executives for discussion and email vote in the next few weeks. The primary change is to include language about initiating a Federal priority setting effort during Phase 1 with initial results to be included as part of the Phase 1 plan.

Pending approval, the document will be put before the FGDC Steering Committee.
