[FIT] FW: Report of the Task Force on Efficient & Effective Government - Please Read

[SMITH Cy * EISPD GEO]

In case you haven't already seen the report linked below, I want to call
your attention to the recommendations and narrative related to data
sharing on pages 4, 8, and 9.  This issue, as you are all aware, has
been a high priority for the geospatial community in Oregon, and indeed
across the country, for many years now.  

 

Among many other related activities, OGIC sent a letter to the AG's
Office regarding the extent and impact of the data sharing issue on
government operations, and Dugan Petty and Elizabeth Harchenko (and
undoubtedly others of whom I'm unaware) worked with the Task Force on
their recommendations related to data sharing.  Needless to say, this
isn't the conclusion of the effort to resolve our collective data
sharing issues, but getting the attention of executive leadership in the
Legislature and the other organizations involved in this Task Force
report is an important step forward to resolving the issues holistically
rather than piece-meal, which has thus far proved elusive.
