Changes since 2004
•The policies have been updated and the naming conventions have been changed.
•There are now only four policies:–Department of Commerce Web Policies (previously W-1)
–Web Content Management (comparable to previous W-2)
–Provision of Internet Services (previously W-5)
–Coordination of Web Site Names (new in 2007)
•The rest of the presentation remains valid.

II. AUTHORITIESNGDC/NESDIS has authority to participate in the project to collect and distribute geomagnetic data using Internet services with IAGA under:
15 U.S.C. Section 1525, the Department's Joint Project Authority, which provides that the Department may enter into joint projects with nonprofit, research, or public organizations on matters of mutual interest, the cost of which is equitably apportioned.
33 U.S.C. § 883c, which authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to collect, correlate, and disseminate geomagnetic data from domestic and foreign sources in order to assure that such data shall be readily available to Government and private agencies and individuals.

III. PURPOSEPursuant to this agreement, the parties will cooperate to provide the highest quality geomagnetic indices, data, and models via the IAGA Web site hosted by NOAA. These activities support basic research as well as improving the safety of astronauts, the operation of electronics on satellites, minimizing the damage to power systems, disruption of communications, and degradation of high-tech navigation systems. NOAA provides Web support on existing equipment and Web oversight to ensure content meet all applicable regulations and best practices. IAGA, in partnership with NOAA, provides scientific review of data and information.
This project is necessary and essential to further the mission of NOAA / DOC in that it will improve the operation of NOAA satellites essential to monitoring our environment, provide for safe navigation of ship and aircraft, and further research into our space, near-space, and Earth environment. NGDC/NESDIS has determined that this project cannot be done at all or done as effectively without the participation of IAGA because of the global nature of the science. IAGA is the primary international organization and a critical scientific partner for research related to geomagnetism and aeronomy.
