## Summary
The Lunar Spatial Data Infrastructure working group will evaluate existing spatial data and data standards for the Moon and assess spatial data storage, acquisition, discovery, and use needs of the Lunar community. Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is the enabling collection of spatial data users, data interoperability agreements, policies and standards, data access mechanisms, and the spatial data themselves (Rajabifard et al., 2002). The overarching goal of the Lunar SDI is to allow individuals that are not spatial data experts to use spatial data to the greatest extent possible, with the lowest possible overhead (Laura et al., 2018). This working group will address complexities by defining policies and standards that will be applicable to this SDI regarding data interoperability, data contribution, and the long-term maintenance of this SDI for the benefit of all user communities.

**DRAFT**

Our goal is to create a safe and productive environment for everyone and to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community. This policy applies to the Lunar SDI working group, our related interactions and meetings, interactions involving our community of users that occur outside of formal meetings, and when an individual is officially representing the Lunar SDI working group in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include corresponding through e-mail, posting via a social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or in-person event. Explicitly stating our expectations for our interactions improves inclusivity and accessibility for all, but especially for those with lower power due to not “fitting the norm” or those at a disadvantage due to less familiarity with the group and its typical dynamics.

**DRAFT**

Subject matter expertise within the Lunar SDI working group is organized primarily around the following topics, which are closely related to the Lunar SDI objectives (see Appendix 1 below and the Lunar SDI Strategy Document). However, additional topics may be added to the agenda at any time. Smaller focus groups may meet separately or asynchronously, as needed, and the results of such discussions are presented to the entire working group at regular meetings.

**DRAFT**

The Lunar SDI working group is the decision-making body of the SDI. The working group members collaboratively formulate the mission, vision, governance model, data and metadata standards, and strategic direction for the development and maintenance of the Lunar SDI. This working group approves work efforts required to meet the strategic goals of this group and provide guidance to support the implementation of those decisions. The working group also establishes and maintains relationships with NASA program managers, data providers, and community user groups and stakeholders, such as Lunar science and engineering communities, mission teams, software application and tool developers, media relation activities, public engagement and education groups, and members of the general public.

## Membership
This working group consists of voluntary working group members and topical sub-groups. There is one Chair, one Co-Chair, and an unlimited number of members.

Describe the current role and responsibilities of the chair. They are administrative. Indicate the flexibility.

Working group memberships are not time limited. There is no maximum size of the working group. The size is expected to vary to ensure adequate coverage of important areas of expertise, balanced with the ability to make decisions efficiently. The working group must have at least five members. Chairs and Co-Chair serve three-year terms from October 1 to September 30. During the August meeting, individuals self-nominate to serve as Co-Chair and the working group determines the new Co-Chair by majority vote. After the one-year term, the Co-Chair then serves as the working group Chair. A change of the Chair or Co-Chair can be made mid-year by the same process described above and as deemed necessary by consensus of the working group members. Mid-year changes are expected to be rare.

There is no specific set of requirements or qualifications for working group membership. The working group may add additional members by consensus. If there are any objections to adding any individual member, an attempt should be made to resolve those objections following the Consensus Seeking Process (see section 5.2). A working group member may be removed from the group by voluntary resignation or by consensus of all other members.
