Subject: TC Meeting Minutes 5-18-04
Title: TC Meeting Minutes 5-18-04
Here are the minutes for our last TC Meeting:
Minutes for OASIS Emergency Management TC
Meeting 18 May 2004
Meeting Convened: 12:10 p.m. Eastern
Roll:
Voting Members:
Carl Reed
Rob Torchon
Rex Brooks
Prospective Member:
Elyza Jones
Special Note: Due to circumstances, Rex Brooks chaired the meeting and
because there was lack of a quorum, no specific decisions were
possible beyond recommendations for specific measures and
recommendations for items to be on the next TC Meeting Agenda. Those
recommendations are recorded in the discussions within the minutes
where they occurred.
This is the Agenda Allen posted:
1. CAP Outreach: update/call for help from Rex on the Imp Guide and
any other opportunites.
2. CAP Errata Issues: per the minutes from the last meeting
(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/emergency/200405/msg00001.html),
we have identified Issue #'s 1, 2, 5, 8, and 9 out of the current list
posted to the site. Bob, these were from you, so if you could take the
lead and propose some solutions that would be great. If, for any
reason, Bob is not on the call then we need to try and understand the
issue and propose some solutions, or flag if there is not enough
information to understand the situation. Most are straightforward
though. And yes, I still need to update the spreadsheet with some
missing items. I apologize - time has been tight the last two weeks
and I just have not had a chance to get to it.
And that is it. Would be good to hear from some of the implementer's
in the group on how/where they are using CAP, so we could post that
information on the site and update the factsheet as well.
Old Business:
1. CAP Outreach: update/call for help from Rex on the Imp Guide and
any other opportunities
1a. Rex Brooks announced that
the Java Location Services Special CAP Newsletter edition is out
at
http://www.jlocationservices.com/Newsletter/CAPSpecialEdition/index.htm
Thanks to Christopher Lakey and Janine Hussey at Image Matters, LLC
for providing the venue and services for making this effort possible
and bringing it to completion. Thanks also to contributors, Art
Botterell, Rex Brooks, Eliot Christian and Sikandra Christian, Carl
Reed, Neil Bougeois and Gary Ham of DMIS and Ron Lake of Galdos
Systems, Inc., (the only contributor not directly linked to this TC)
for the fine efforts put forward for this issue of the newsletter.
This follows the official OASIS Press Release by a week, and provides
us with supporting materials not only for our initial efforts at
encouraging adoption, but also, by the inclusions of the article by
Carl Reed and the prototype CRS and Units Registry, a springboard for
one future follow-on effort.
1b. Rex reported that he
has not yet received any materials from developers on specific issues
with implementing CAP, and asked for suggestions.
In the course of the discussion which followed two main suggestions
emerged:
* a specifc SC for the
Implementation Guide
* a regular forum or
chatroom for developers to attend and discuss issues arising from
implementation
Rex said that he would begin such efforts in the next Msg SC meeting
since it falls within his action item and that due to some favorable
coincidences, he will try, with Art's help, hopefully, to bring in at
least one outside implementation group, the Contra Costa County
Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services, whose manager, Elizabeth Klute
provided one of the quotes used in the OASIS Press Release, along with
another outside group developing a CAP implementation. Rob Torchon
indicated that he thought this was a good idea, so it seems likely
that some of E Team's CAP developers will be available. Elyza Jones,
whose employer, Warning Systems makes Radio Tone Alert Radio Systems,
represents another resource, which, along with Kon Wilms for Broadcast
Television will assure that the Implementation Guide will apply to the
range of media covered by CAP. Rex also said he would send out an
email to likely candidates on this committee and outside this
committee.
A subsidiary item for discussion was brought up in this context, that
this group thought the TC ought to consider: a policy allowing non-TC
members of companies that are OASIS members and who have a regular TC
member representative to participate on subcommittees either in a
proxy relationship to the company TC representative or simply as SC
members not required to maintain full TC membership which represents
an amount of company time and effort that seems less cost effective
than it might be for member companies. It is noted that this issue has
been raised in other TCs, and Rex has volunteered to make a liaison
effort to gather support for such a policy and present it to OASIS
through the chairs mailing list at a later date, probably in the fall
of this year.
2. CAP Errata Issues: per the minutes from the last meeting
Because we did not have sufficient members who had attended the
previous TC meeting at which the list of errata items was produced,
and because we did not have a quorum, discussion was deferred.
New Business:
No new business items were added beyond recommending discussion on a
CAP Developers' Forum and proxy membership for subcommittees.
Meeting adjourned: 12:40 p.m. Eastern.
