The Guam Office of Infrastructure Policy and Development (OIPD), as part of its work in developing a Five-Year Action Plan for Broadband, is required to perform asset inventories including an assessment of “Community Anchor Institutions” (CAIs) throughout the island.  

The Office is currently developing a database (contained as a Google Sheet at this time) with data dimensions for each Organization and each Location relevant to the agreed upon definition. The current list of CAIs might be seen as a “Candidates” list; ideally the individual data will go through a contact-and-verification process to ensure they are indeed existing and operational entities.
