TO use as a service to allocate by school boundaries or by floodplain data. PUt into form to be a stand alone. Set up goals to be NICS ready. Current state as an affliate but can become a project. Additional resources needed to become a NICS service. Does this include methodology or is this service only. If additional resources it could be come a tool. (2PQX)

- Need for cross communication as well as up and down. Cross communication be provided for in NICS. Project to provide data. Contributors and helping with datal. Based on retired demographers. Would need funding to set up. (2PR3)
- Brand - set of principals 1) all COP should have a use case to be agenda and meet the need. 2) those that need help should partner with others in COP. 3) NICS operation group to help with financial assistance. Partnerships is developed and need additional resources. Cast net widely and if project is scable why put cap on it. COP is not all going up the pipeline. How to prioritize. WHich ones are focused on. Still need criteria on business case is developed. (2PR4)
- Community Information NOnprofit to work with data users. Work with all of agencies. Project with health information. IS environmental health working with individual data. The zip code is identified and hard to get to track level. (2PR5)
8. Spingfield Mass - breast cancer on an indiviual level. Youth violence and police data. Useful resource. will provide contact inforamtion from ACS. (2PR6)
- Is there a downside to having so many affiliates. To make sure of what learned. Effort to focus on affiliateds. Affilates are easier to have an enclusive list. Suggestioning more communications and semi-annual reports. (2PR7)
PROJECT 1: Group in CHicago to do a regional version of what NICS is suppose to be that inonprofit and public to get information off homesites\. Common XML to link topic. The group is 8 months into demonstration. TEchnology is understood but not doing well on the institutional issues and data formats, classes of users. Huge beneficiary of the services of what NICS is provided. Template of what others will follow and the group needs participation from some of the National players to talk about LL. (2PR8)
TOm - example like Pittsburgh model. IF does not have locally no way NICS can go to all the local agencies. More movement in this direction. (2PR9)
Could fail if agreements in datasharing and costs are not resolved. Pittsburgh suffers from same risks. CHicago needs help from the national to help. Both would benefit. Pittsburgh has organized all the data users and MOUs. Affiliate would be good to connect. (2PRA)
Chicago Needs Technical assistance. (2PRB)
Question: What is the Diff between Affilate and Project? Project is asking for further resources. Affilate is happening anyway. Cross multisites for software and opportunities for innocatio. Affliate has own funding. Projects needs funding to make happen. May not all be NICS funding but from other foundations. Middleware - broker to back end data on reinterpt what the data means. Vacant land reuse is an example. Elements to NICS readiness. (2PRC)
Two ongoing projects that could fail and are able to be reuse. Don't want to find effort has been abandoned when we might have experts and resources. How to choose. Perhaps a third type where we start right now with expertise or resources. (2PRD)
May want to push for NICS activities to use experience of affliates to be services that can plug and play. Focusing on parallell effort. Service archecture. (2PRE)
Not an affiliate it if fails. Under project how does it meet other criteria. Will organizational arrangements. Chicago's afflicate status is the organizational arrangements. Memphis is data farrat. Colloborating with NICS makes sense as an affiliate. (2PRF)
USe case could start with the list. Hearing that there are other activities that we are giving attention to build support networks. Do we want to turn into use cases and need to be selective. Affiliates coming out of Chicago, Baltimore ext these support mechanisms need to start right now. (2PRH)
State wide list serves to share on a daily basis. How to contract ... everyday. How to certified for blind doctor. Creating value by going to emails - creating relationships. active set of users as an infrastructure group. Buyin without other investment. NNIP has a list serve that is very active with 500 people on the listserve. Nothing comparable for statewide. Sharing across silos in state networks. Both GIS and mandates. (2PRI)
Criteria for Projects to offer up. What else is going onl. $ to get tool ready to help others. (2PRG)
USE CASE - should be method of testing the elephant so able to push through a viable model. (2PRJ)
NICS Ready - every participant puts forth a proposal, and at next meeting, everyone puts forth what they think is NICS ready. (2PRL)
