ROs must apply- completeness check 13 Specifies requirements for electronic mapping submissions (when electronic maps are required and how they may be submitted). Rationale – GIS supports Board decision making by revealing cumulative impacts. GIS- based maps are of better quality and allow better analysis than paper distributions alone. Standalone document or appendix to guides to completing an application.

INAC has invested over $100k on our behalf already. Interagency Land Use Data Sharing Working Group INAC funded / GNWT managed project Website to map LUP applications online (proponent or Board staff) GNWT short-staffed and project is not progressing -We should consider deepening our involvement These 2 projects complement each other and our registry / mapping plans nicely.
