Hang two Delaware Plots (Dover) on the wall before starting the paper.
Pass out Opinion Surveys
Follow the Outline on the slide
Show The National Map viewer slide while talking about The National MapFollow the Outline on the slide
Show the GOS slide while talking about it.When Karen Siderelis became the GIO she commissioned several teams Products and Services Team was among them.
Follow the Outline on the slide
Follow the Outline on the slide
Show the next slide while you talk through this list, One slide shown for Similarities, the next slide shown for Difference
Point out Delaware Plot and Published Map hanging on the walls.
MC a QC / QA needs to be developed for the data Discuss with Rick and Wendy. We realize there will be a quality issue taking partners data to automatically place on a map without QA of the data before the maps are made. How fund this, staff it, contract it, will it be in the PWS?
Follow the Outline on the slide
Follow the Outline on the slide
Invite people to view Delaware Plot and Published Map on the walls while others ask questions.
Do not ask for partners in pilot projects (MC)
Remind people of the OpinionSurvey where to leave it when they leave.
