• Discuss and resolve critical items from 3D GIS Requirements WG.
• Include updated GIS Data Templates alongside GIS Data Model version release.
• Move Appendix B from NENA i3 Standard for Next Generation 9-1-1 into NENA NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model as an alternative to flat file structure.

• Expertise in relational database structure within GIS

When signing up for the WG, please document which of these skills you possess in the "Knowledge, Skills, Abilities You Offer" section of the form.
