    TC members,
     
    I am extending an invitation to all of our members to a special meeting of the DM Open Platform for Emergency Networks  (DM_OPEN) Special interest Group.  Details for tomorrows presentation are provided below. Our presenter will be a third party functional expert who has had occasion to view several alerting products in operational interoperability mode using DM-OPEN as the sharing backbone in preparation for Coalition Warfare Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) 2007 later this summer.  He will talk about presentation clarity and usefulness of the user interfaces as well  general interoperability issues. It will not be a "comparison of specific products." It will, however, include recommendations for general improvement and ideas for making our use of CAP more effective.
