Description

The role of the Communication Committee is to ensure timely communication between and among the Board, the Council and all members of UCGIS and between the UCGIS and individuals and organizations outside. As a primary vehicle for communication, the Communication Committee is responsible for the design, content and maintenance of the UCGIS website, and should also try to ensure that member institution's web sites are informative and up to date. Information to be available through the website includes, but is not limited to member portfolios, membership lists, bylaws, announcements, whitepapers, press releases, etc. Using appropriate web-based technology (e.g. push technologies, newsgroups, ;list servers, etc), the Committee will maximize the probability that relevant information reaches all delegates before each meeting of the council. The Committee also will develop methods and policies for distribution of a UCGIS Newsletter at least twice a year.
