[Ica-sdistandards] Mapping the Sustainability Development goals - ICA’s best practice (book proposal)

[Serena Coetzee]

Dear Commission Members, 

the ICA President has asked us for input/feedback on a book proposal on mapping the United Nations SDGs, see email below. If you have any comments/feedback, let us know. 

Tomorrow, the Commission members who are here in Stockholm for the ISO/TC 211 meetings will meet to discuss the proposal. 

Franz-Josef and I will reply to the email below on Thursday (1 June). However, you are welcome to send further comments/feedback after that, which we will take to the meeting about the book, to be held in Washington DC.

Regards,
--

Dear all, <>
As you have been able to read in my recent blog (  <>http://icaci.org/presidents-blog-revised-ica-posters-on-maps-and-sustainable-development-goals/ <http://icaci.org/presidents-blog-revised-ica-posters-on-maps-and-sustainable-development-goals/>) we have updated the posters. <> Now it is time for the next step. For this step, I do ask a contribution from ALL commissions.

As you might remember the idea is to ‘convert’ the posters into a book  “Mapping the Sustainability Development goals - ICA’s best practice”. The objective is to offer practical cartographic knowledge to those who want to map the SDGs. This based on the experiences of our Commissions and Working Groups. The book will provide a brief overview / guideline on how to design maps based on SDG-data with many examples of do’s and don’ts. <>
We will discuss the plan in detail in our meeting during the ICC2017 in Washington (July 7, after the closing ceremony from 16:00-18:00). To efficiently run that short meeting a good preparation is key. Therefore, I do have some homework for you to do. <>
The objective of the meeting is to agree on the book content, and consequently split the labor among the commissions. <>
Attached the book proposal I did send to ESRI. This proposal also contains a suggested table of content. Your contribution is expected for section 5: the map examples.

For each Commission and Working Group I do expect at least one page.  A page would contain, similar to the poster, seen through the eyes of your Commission or Working Group, a bad versus a good example, explained by some text. <> <> To get some consistency in all examples I attached a small template to fill with three questions.

·      First I would like you to position your Commission or Working Group relative to the definition of our discipline. <>
·      Second I would like you to indicate what kind of example you would like to create. Here I would like you to consider the base map, the theme, and the mapping environment. <>
·      Third describe the map examples you have in mind.

Please return the answers before June 1. <>
