RE: Revised GIS SC Mission statement

Thanks to those who provided comments. Here is a revised GIS SC mission 
statement.

 

The mission of the Geospatial Information System (GIS) sub-committee is 
to provide a forum in which requirements for and potential solutions to 
geospatial standards issues as related to the broader work of the EM TC can be 
presented and discussed. This work will include 
surveys of existing standards, collection of requirements, 
discussions, and recommendations to the broader EM TC for geospatial 
components/elements for standards being developed by the EM TC. A key aspect of 
such recommendations is to assure that the geospatial aspects of EM developed or 
recommended standards are verifiably and correctly implementable in real 
systems. The goal of this work to improve the value of emergency 
management systems, including effective integration of geospatial message 
content anywhere into the EM value chain.
