§Process of identifying what other agencies or organizations having existing governance structures or authority that might overlap with the V2V/V2I governance needs.  Mapping describes both:
□The current situation
□The entities that coordinate governance versus the entities with the authority that are needed to enforce interagency coordination.
□
§Experts suggested mapping the following elements:
□Stakeholders – who is central to the network and what relationships are present between stakeholders?
□Roles of Federal, state, and local government
□Roles of public institutions
□Existing private sector involvement
□Operational network – who is in charge of each particular aspect, who has authority to make decisions? 
□Budget categories and public spending trends
Step 2:  Map Governance
A mapping document should show all of the organizations involved, who they are, who they represent, what their interests area, and their relationship to other stakeholders.  It is important to map interests and stakeholders to help better identify which stakeholders should be included in the discussions throughout the process.
