What We Do:
GISCorps Operational Plan Limitations and Rights:
a. Any
member of the public including Volunteers, FOGC, and PA can post information
onto both databases (VDB & PDB), via two separate web based application
forms.
b. Upon
submitting their information, Volunteers, FOGC, and PA are given a user name
and a password only for the purpose of updating their own records.
c. Only the
CC members have browsing and editing privileges over both databases (VDB &
PDB).
Case Operation:
a. A new database entry from a PA will automatically send an email
notification to the CC & EPSM members.
b. EPSM
conducts an evaluation of the project:
* If project is not
in compliance with SP principles, EPSM marks it as unqualified in PDB and
contacts the PA with a courtesy follow up letter.
* If project is in
compliance with SP, EPSM marks it as qualified in PDB and will search the VDB
to find the best candidate(s) for the new project.
* A list of the
selected QVs is emailed to the PA and the selected
QV(s) will also be copied on that email. Since both parties are now in contact
with each other, the GC’s role ends at this point.
* The GC is not responsible for
any costs or liabilities associated with the Volunteers’ mission.
