3. Charter/workplan Apologies to the WG Charter oversights
Charter submitted to FGDC 8/3 without WG review.
Charter oversights
Too few Federal agencies represented
Notification of meeting
The existing Charter focuses on Federal participation in the work group which is lacking. The charter was amended to make federal agencies more responsible for WG membership. I also changes the way in which we announce WG meetings. From this meeting forward all WG meetings will be submitted to the FGDC.gov/calendar for posting. All attempts will be made to have the posting five days prior to the meeting.

7. Feature Catalog First meeting of editors.
Sharon Shin conduit for changes proposed for FC
Nov 9 – 11, 2009, Sherbrooke, Que.
Call for volunteers.
Roles, responsibilities.
No reply just yet
May be established at Nov meeting.
Sharon Shin will gather volunteers from the WG and external experts to work on FC.
Sharon will contact INCITS L1 to discuss the following methodology:
At the onset, letters of agreement will be signed by the volunteers stating that the FC submissions were collaboratively developed and that all agree with the submitted and final content.
This will eliminate the back tracking that occurred with INCITS L1 and the NAP final review. Friend of the Committee, INCITS L1, may not be necessary if this approach is taken.
Meetings will be scheduled to review proposed changes to Feature Catalog and review members will be given opportunity to recommend changes. Remember that objecting the content is not enough, you must offer an alternative with written text.
The work will include but not limited to review of FC, recommend changes, and participate in conference calls. Attempts will be made to limit the need for conference calls but this may require more than two conference call for modifications to FC.
Add CSDGM content to NAP
Separate Feature Catalog? Same package as NAP, non-ISO elements, still need to exchange full FGDC docs, schema containing Section 5 elements

Sharon will contact INCITS L1 to discuss the following methodology:
At the onset of this effort letters of agreement will be signed by all volunteers stating that the ISO revision submissions were collaboratively developed and that all agree with the submitted and final content.
Periodic public reviews will be held for recommendations to change
I suggest the WG reviews the NAP and recommend the changes made in the NAP be recommended.
