Subject: RE: [emergency] Groups - CAP 1.1 Subcommittee Draft(CAP_1.1-draft_1-4-05) uploaded
Bob -
Your concern was discussed at some length by both the GIS and
Messaging Subcommittees. During the 11/30 call the Messaging
Subcommittee took up Issue 14 and voted to stick with this
formulation, which is in line with GIS industry and ISO usage.
Of course you're welcome to offer an amendment to the full TC for
discussion on our next call, hopefully with some specific alternate
language. After that it'll be up to the Committee.
