43) Would your agency be interested in hosting a GIS-T Symposium within the next few years?
Comment Responses:
NY Possibly with executive approval
OK Currently hosting
NV Depends on staffing and funding issues
CO Colorado hosted in 2003.
VT Vermont is not large enough to coordinate or staff a GIS-T.
44) Please provide any additional information or comments desired;
include any additional topics/questions that you would like to see added or changes you would like to see incorporated into this survey.

LA Some of the oney questions are hard to answer. We have several business units [non-IT] that pay for apllicatio development and support. I have n o idea how much. I think that question needs to be split for IT/non-IT.
OK Question 18 would not allow me to submit any number other than 0
AZ None at this time
SD none
NV information about consultants. good and bad expirences
CO Data collection - 1) working with business groups to define standards and specifications; 2) project management
PR DATA STANDARDS IMPLEMENTATION BETWEEN US STATES AND TERRITORIES.
WS There needs to be a GIS-T research forum, similar to what the Symposium was like in the earlier days.
