NSDI Strategic Plan – Purpose/ScopePurpose:
Develop a concise, updated strategic plan to guide the Federal government’s activities toward the further development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
Scope:Validate and build consensus around a shared vision of the NSDIDefine the role of the Federal government to further the development of the NSDICollaboratively define the roles and relationships among Federal agencies and non-Federal partners and stakeholdersIdentify 4-5 strategic goals, informed by the geospatial community, for the Federal government to pursue in the next 3 yearsDevelop follow-up implementation plans and performance measures to achieve these goals

GAO Recommendation (GAO-13-94)
…The Secretary of the Interior, as the FGDC chair should establish a time frame for creating and updating a strategic plan to improve coordination and reduce duplication, and create and implement the plan within the established time frame. The plan, at a minimum, should include:1. a vision statement for the NSDI *2. outcome-oriented goals and objectives that address all aspects of
the NSDI3. a description of how the goals and objectives are to be achieved,
including a description of the resources needed to achieve the goals and objectives and how the FGDC is to work with other agencies to achieve them *
4. performance measures for achieving the stated goals; and 5. external factors that could affect the achievement of the goals
and objectives. *
