Greetings,

Noted in the WIGICC Network Meeting agenda for June 10th, we have a several important issues to discuss during a limited amount of time that afternoon, including further discussion of four major issue areas considered for Community of Practice groups.

As a preliminary notice, I would like to inform Network participants that we also have plans in the works to create a GIS Hydrography Resources Community of Practice group. I have offered to sponsor this group, and will be coordinating with key players in the community at-large to further define and form this CoP during the summer and autumn months of 2009.

If you have interest participating in the formation of the Hydrography Resources CoP, contact me when at the Network Meeting and/or via email.

Regards,

Kenny Parsons
