Thanks Ian ! Is there anyone who would be interested in joining the task before we call for a vote? Please let us know ! If we don't hear back by Monday, Ian would you mind calling for a vote, and we can assume lazy consensus.

Spatial Information Systems Proposal

As we move forward there is also no reason to restrict the focus of SIS/GIS to just this planet as a point of reference; other sciences (astrophysics, planetary science) have been collecting information about our universe and other celestial bodies for years, information that could be spatial-enabled. There has been a growing recent interest in data collected about the Earth's moon as in the case of NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, its Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) and its Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project (LMMP), as well as Google Moon and other such projects. Spatial data can offer substantial value added for consumers of data through the use of location-rich metadata, as well as through the use of layering, allowing users of spatial data
