Subject: Fwd: OASIS EM TC Category for EDXL standards
TC Members, I received the following email from Bill Kalin
representing the DHS/DM program. There is specific grant guidance
language proposed for our review. I would prefer discussion begin
on the list and then we can take it up at the next regular TC call
9/20. Elysa

Elysa - We have been asked by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to create standardized RFI/RFP language that
federal agencies would required to use when seeking to purchase an
incident management software application. We want to be able to
refer to EDXL as a single set of standards as opposed to listing them all
individually, including CAP. This is the first step in creating
common grant guidance language that will be required when local, tribal
and state governments are seeking to purchase incident management tools
with DHS grant money. We believe this will strongly facilitate the
adoption of standards within the vendor community and further develop
this emerging market.
What can be done via OASIS to help create this single type of category
under the OASIS TC? I am attaching a draft of proposed language for
the RFI/RFP's which includes a desired reference to the OASIS web
site.
