A clearly defined authority exists for statewide coordination of geospatial information technologies and data production.
Explanation: A responsible individual or group has been designated in many states through executive orders, budget authorizations, or legislation. These individuals, or groups, are usually better able to deal with difficult coordination issues since they are empowered to perform this function. In some cases, "all volunteer" efforts are very effective at coordinating statewide activities through consensus building. These groups are often recognized as a "clearly defined authority" although they have no specific powers.
