    CAP is a very well socialized acronym, and I fear distributing an OPenC2 CAP message inside a CAP alert encoded in EDXL

    Hey Dave, I just saw this. One thing that occurs to me is the potential for confusion around the name. 

     


    CAP is an OASIS Standard - Common Alerting Protocol ( https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#capv1.2 ). The CAP standard is widely deployed in emergency communication systems around
    the globe for all manner of disaster: tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados. floods. For people outside our community, seeing CAP already comes with a lot of meaning to it. (And in case anybody thinks that the differences are obvious, I just spent 20
    minutes yesterday explaining why a potential legal markup project had nothing to do with CAP's sibling EDXL (Emergency Data Exchange Language). 


     


    I would like to avoid muddying the meaning of CAP if possible by using a different acronym. Maybe cucp or cacp or capro? I'm sure you all can find a far more elegant solution than that! 


     


    Thanks much,

    For convenience, here's a copy of the proposal to create an open repo for Custom Actuator Profiles (openc2-cap). As Joe Brule stated at this morning's TC meeting session, the window to register
    objections is open until 10:00pm EDT tonight.
