Mission

Develop published policies and procedures for managing systems, and system services.
Solicit input from stakeholders on required system services, and to prioritize which to offer and when.
Assign appropriate security and other responsibilities to administrators and users for access to systems.
Ensure core OSGeo system services are well maintained, highly available and recoverable in case of system failure.
Recommend system expenditures to the Board.
