    Subject: Re: [sia-pilot6] [emergency] EDXL-DE routing and valueListUrn


    I do believe we need to develop some use cases with representative 
    distribution that can be published in an implementation guide.  This 
    concept will take a bit to catch on and examples seem to be the best 
    approach.  I would favor the start of an SC specifically focused on 
    implementation.  This would give a home for new members of the TC that will 
    need a bit of guidance as they learn the process. I plan to put this on the 
    agenda for our meeting tomorrow.
