OASIS Emergency Management TC

Hi Everyone,

As part of the report from the EM-Msg SC for today's EM TC Meeting, I 
am excerpting the motions from the Em-Msg Meeting 3-3-09 for the sake 
of clarity, rather than paraphrasing it for the TC. Note: the issues 
are summarized from the CAP 1.2 Section of 
CAP-NextGen-CommentsList_v1.4 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-msg/download.php/31699/CAP-NextGen-CommentsList_v1.4.xls

MOTION #1: Jacob Westfall moved that the subcommittee recommend to 
the Emergency Management Technical Committee (EM TC) that the EM TC 
approve proceeding with a CAP 1.2 restricted to the existing changes 
summarized as follows:

3 - Caution/restriction against restricted, escaped, and special 
characters and encoded entities in content field

15,17-6,20,22 - New responseType values of Avoid and AllClear

16,19 - Editorial changes

27 - Clarification on acceptable values in polygon and circle elements

28 - Expand CAP examples to include update and bilingual messages

Also based on IPAWS profile work, the following changes could also be added,

- All dateTime elements should include a timezone (Art's guidelines 
from the IPAWS profile could be used)

- A review of the schema found 

An additional concern has come to my attention in the last week, one which I believe could easily be addressed in CAP 1.2.  (It also bears on the IPAWS Profile and I'll be commenting on that in the appropriate venue.)

I'm told that the current CAP 1.1 schema does not permit the use of enveloped digital signatures as mandated in section 3.3.2.1 of the CAP 1.1 spec.  I don't believe there is any policy disagreement there; it appears to have been merely an oversight.  

And I believe there are folks on the TC better qualified than I to suggest precisely what would need to be added to the schema to implement enable Section 3.3.2.1.

Thanks Art,

I'm copying this to the EM-Msg SC and I suggest we include it 
immediately in our discussions.

We're looking for solutions. I've followed discussions, and I'll 
review those threads and research it, too.

Cheers,
Rex
