Dear Colleagues,
Just a reminder that the Virtual RIGIS User Group meeting
is coming up soon! (Zoom connection at bottom of this email).
Wednesday, March 3, 2021
The schedule is as follows:
1:00 - 1:15 pm - Welcome / opening remarks
1:15 - 2:00 pm - Future of State Plane Coordinates - Dan Martin, Northeast Regional Geodetic Advisor
Abstract: The State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) is being redefined as part of the transition from the North American Datum of 1983 to the North American Terrestrial Reference Frames of 2022. The presentation discusses SPCS2022 technical characteristics
and requirements; default designs (created by NGS in the absence of stakeholder input); "layered" zones (a single statewide zone plus a system of sub-zones); "special purpose" zones (providing coverage for areas that straddle two or more zones); and the
deprecation of the US Survey Foot.

2:45 - 3:00 pm - Break

3:45 - 4:30 pm - RI Redistricting Timetable, and an update on the 2020 Census - Kimball Brace,
Election Data Services, Inc.
Abstract: A presentation by Rhode Island's consultant to the Rhode Island Legislature on all things census related, Mr. Brace will provide important
information about the status of the 2020 census data, as well as the timetable for redistricting information.
We will do our best to start each presentation at the appointed time if you wish to jump on for a specific one and cannot be with us the entire afternoon.
