GEOINT Media Standards Board (GMSB)
CHARTER:
The GMSB is the technical focal point for Still Imagery and Motion Imagery, from here on referred to only as imagery, and imagery-related standardization activities within the GEOINT community. The mission of the GMSB is to facilitate the development, selection, adoption, profiling, documentation, maintenance, sustainment, implementation, testing and evaluation of standards essential to establishing interoperability and quality for imagery, associated metadata, audio and other related imagery aspects which benefit the GEOINT Enterprise (i.e., the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), U.S. federal and U.S. civil agencies, U.S. industry, U.S. academic institutions, the Allied System for GEOINT (ASG), foreign governments (those not included ASG), foreign industry and foreign academic institutions).
As such, the GMSB assumes all roles and responsibilities associated with the Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) and the National Imagery Transmission Format Standards (NITFS) Technical Board (NTB). For continuity purposes, the MISB and NTB will continue to execute as standalone Focus Groups but under oversight of the GMSB.
