Background
At its tenth session, the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-GGIM) noted the global significance of the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF), which serves as a key umbrella for the many activities under the purview of the Committee of Experts, including the regional committees and thematic groups of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-GGIM, which could be applied to any country to guide transformational change, and which would be a living and usable document to be reviewed and refined through an iterative process, on the basis of the practical implementation experiences of Member States. In making decision 10/103, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-GGIM at its tenth session, endorsed the establishment of a dedicated high-level group of experts, with balanced geographical representation and expertise, as a mechanism to provide strategic leadership, coordination and oversight in order to ensure the sustained success of the IGIF, and to mobilize the resources necessary to maintain the momentum and refinement of the IGIF as a continuously evolving process.
