Subject: RE: [emergency] Public as responders (was RE: [emergency]...PPW l etter re CAP)
I have been so wrapped up in the Broadcast Media discussion that I
almost missed this. I hope that this is the sort of concern we can
take up in the public comment period after we release CAP but now it
seems moot until that issue gets some kind of resolution since we
might not vote to release CAP, even though we had agreed to a
Committee Specification status back before the demonstration at the
Global Homeland Security Conference last month.
This particular concern strikes me as something that should be added
to the list of items for consideration in v1.1 of CAP, if that is
even the correct place for it. I am beginning to think that Broadcast
Media ought to take compatibility with CAP as a priority
consideration for requirement in its own standard because I don't
think that any public service use of Broadcast Assets can be
separated from the quagmire of patents and royalties and when you add
liability considerations by even thinking about conferring official
Emergency Management Asset status on members of the public it just
grows more thorns.
And, if we really need to focus on obtaining RFP-Requirement status
in governmental solicitations dealing with life and death issues,
then it really might be best to duck this whole area in favor of
fielding a standard that can stand up to large liability concerns.
Ciao,
Rex
