Mr. Jensen gave everyone a copy of the outline of his presentation which included a discussion of IGIC (a twenty-five member council elected gy 500+ members from eight sectors; community colleges, county agencies, federal agencies, municipal agencies, private business, state agencies, regional organizations, university and private colleges). He gave the group a brief overview of their 2003-2004 major priorities, their top ten activities, and how to be involved in IGIC. He made a strong case that ICIT and IGIC should work cooperatively to develop and share GIS data and resources. Mr. Jensen urged the entire group to get involved in submitting metadata and, if possible, GIS data to the Map Iowa Metadata Server at www.gis.iastate.edu. He commended ICIT for the efforts in providing GIS training, specifically the upcoming Arc SDE training and noted that he would like to see IGIC and ICIT work cooperatively in continuing to provide educational opportunities.
B) Update on Arc SDE training, January, February & March 2004

D) Suggestions for ISAC University, January, 2004
Wayne Chizek said that ICIT will have a full day of time available to cover suggested topics. Theresa Wurth suggested a joint session with County Board of Supervisors to impress on them the importance of Business Continuation planning. She is having difficulty getting some of the county offices to take the planning efforts seriously and feels that getting her board members motivated would help. Randy Snyder suggested a session to cover security solutions in detail.
E) Suggestions for the spring school, March, 2004
F) Suggestions for the ICIT Mid-Year meeting, June, 2004
G) Discuss vendor role in ICIT
