    Subject: RE: [emergency] FW: [legalxml-intjustice] GJXDM subset schema exa mple and documen tation


    As chair of the group that put the GJXDM work together I want to say I
    appreciate the observations and critique put forward.  The comments point
    out some of the areas we need to work, and also points to some of the
    misconceptions there are about the model as well as the effort.  If
    interested I can put together a more comprehensive response, or I can give a
    short briefing when we are in New Orleans.  We are very interested in the
    CAP work and would like as much as possible to be complimentary in our
    efforts.

    Well put.
    
    As a side note, I did want to comment (personally) on this one 
    section....

    I do, IMHO, agree that this is where CAP is - its a specification. 
    However, and I can say this as Chair, the primary author of both the 
    Charter and Requirements Document, and as a CTO of a company that 
    targets both public safety AND business continuity as markets, this was 
    NOT the intention of this TC. It was to create standards - not specs. 
    Their are 10,000,000,000 different XML schemas out there - they are a 
    dime-a-dozen. We do not need more - they are hard enough to sort out. 
    What we need are standards - standards for doing things such as 
    exchanging Alert information - not just describing it.
