The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Governance Models, co-led by directors Tim Johnson and Jonathan Duran, aim to demonstrate practical models for nationwide spatial data infrastructure (NSDI) coordination.  Goal 1 of the 2025-2035 NSDI Strategic Plan is, “Governance: Implement National Governance”.   It aims to “increase multisector nationwide participation and accountability in NSDI governance and implementation and establish and execute national oversight and management mechanisms for the NSDI.”  This initiative will directly support the establishment of national governance via evaluation of governance models that could be applied nationally.
