Submitter's message Please review these minutes from the January 3rd, 2012 meeting of the IF subcommittee for approval at our upcoming meeting, subject to any specified changes. Thanks. -- Jeff Waters Document Name : DRAFT-01-03-12-Minutes-IF-Subcommittee.doc Description At the January 3rd, 2012 meeting of the Infrastructure Framework Subcommittee, the members discussed the following topics:
1. TOPIC: Do we have a draft document providing a simplified overview of the DE 2.0? (Answer: Yes. Jeff uploaded a draft document for subcommittee review entitled ?The Distribution Element 2.0: The Basic Steps to Package and Address Your Emergency Information?. See
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-if/download.php/44728/DE_2.0_Basics_Draft_ver_01.doc This document is an update to the original OASIS EM TC White Paper. The update includes the new tags and tag names along with updated snippets and examples.)
2. TOPIC: What issues should be considered for this type of educational, outreach document? (Answer: A number of issues are important to consider as we strive to increase the amount and quality of educational material, including (1) scope; (2) target audience; (3) simplicity; (4) level of effort required to produce; (5) agility for updating/maintaining; (6) authoritativeness; (7) adoption strategy. A few concrete suggestions were proposed including use the wiki as well as the formal OASIS White Paper, have one official web page where everything can be linked from, enable grass-roots usage of standards as a strategy by following and supporting free and open tools/parsers for a variety of platforms. )
3. TOPIC: Where do we find the comments on the DE 2.0 specification? (Answer: The current OASIS policy provides a public comment list for all the specifications as well as suggesting the members comment through the EM TC mailing list. This is a potential difficulty separating out the comments related to DE 2.0 and searching multiple lists for relevant comments. Later discussion at EM TC meeting suggested that would be best if everyone commented on the public comment list, if possible.)
