<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>At the June 2010 OGIC meeting, OGIC
indicated that they wanted to move forward with the navigatOR strategy, rather
than putting more effort in to a new Strategic Plan. After careful
consideration of the results of that meeting, and knowing that we have to
comply with the requirements of the USGS CAP Grant for developing a refreshed
Strategic Plan using their template, we have come up with a plan of action that
we believe accomplishes both the OGIC results and the USGS grant requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>The attached Strategic Plan follows the
CAP grant template, but is aligned with the navigatOR Implementation
Plan. The navigatOR Implementation Plan will need to be refreshed so that
it reflects what has been accomplished over the last couple of years since it
was drafted, and it will be refreshed based on the Strategic Plan. The
Strategic Plan refreshes the 2001 Strategic Plan. The navigatOR
Implementation Plan is more detailed than a strategic plan should be. The
two plans together form the basis for moving navigatOR forward effectively in
the next legislative session and in the coming years. We will begin
immediately to update the navigatOR Implementation Plan and that will be sent
forward to this same group for endorsement in the near future.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

comments to us by end of day, Tuesday, August 31<sup>st</sup>. We will
modify the document based on those comments, add an Executive Summary, and send
the result to OGIC for final review about a week prior to their September 15<sup>th</sup>
meeting. Our objective is to gain OGIC endorsement of this plan at the
September 15<sup>th</sup> meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
