The Information Policy Advisory Task Force [IPATF] first met on May 25, 1988. Its charge was to "help develop and coordinate a state information architecture that was consistent with the information management direction developed by the Information Policy Council, and make recommendations to the commissioner concerning the progress, direction, and needs of the state's information system." [Laws 1987 c404 sec80 subd4]. The IPATF included representatives of state agencies, the Supreme Court, higher education systems, librarians, local government, and private industry. It was legislated to have two members from the House of Representatives and two from the Senate, with no more than one member from each body chosen from the same political party. The IPATF was scheduled to expire June 30, 1993 but its members voted to disband on June 18, 1992, citing that its mission was being handled by other existing groups.
