[gis_info] ASPRS\CaGIS\GLIS #GeoBytes FREE --A Legal Framework for UAVs: How We Get From Here to There?

[David Alvarez]

*Abstract:* UAVs offer tremendous potential to collect geospatial
information in ways that will both replace and supplement existing
collection capabilities. Unfortunately, trying to integrate broad
commercial use of UAVs into the existing legal and policy framework is
proving very challenging. This webinar will identify the major legal and
policy issues that must be addressed and discuss what such a framework
might look like in the future to accommodate commercial use of UAVs.

*Bio:* Mr. Pomfret is the founder and Executive Director of the Centre for
Spatial Law and Policy and the Principal in GeoLaw, P.C, where he advises
business and governments on the legal issues associated with the
collection, use, storage and distribution of location and other forms of
geospatial information. Mr Pomfret has given talks around the world on
matters of spatial law and policy and writes regularly on issues of
privacy, licensing, national security and liability issues and the use of
geospatial technology in the courtroom and is the principal author of
chapter on location privacy in the United States in Geographic Data and the
Law: Defining New Challenges. Mr. Pomfret has been involved in geospatial
technology for over 25 years, beginning his career as a satellite imagery
analyst where he helped to develop imagery collection strategies to monitor
arms control treaties and identify requirements for future collection
systems. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the OpenGeospatial
Consortium and was appointed to the National Geospatial Advisory Committee.
