Hi Wendy, Yes, I understand the time difference issues. When this was under development your organization secured a consultancy for me through OASIS to help manage the effort and coordination in the different time zones. That should not be necessary for this effort, but you will need to attend a meeting to describe the effort, how it was vetted and support any questions the membership has. Our process requires members to attend 3 out of 5 meetings to be eligible to vote. In this way, we are sure that people are informed of the material before they make decisions that can affect many. Our CAP Subcommittee is diligently working through comments as they work toward either a CAP 1.3 or 2.0. This process takes many months and involves members and interested parties all over the world. I would encourage your organization to stay in touch with the discussion on these lists and take advantage of your membership status. Decisions on the CAP work are ultimately made in the EM-TC. We are planning to have some meetings at different times to accommodate that participation. I will put that topic on the agenda for tomorrows discussion. We should be able to piggy back your work on the CAP work that will require some EM-TC meetings to be held in various time zones. You might consider using the emergency discussion list to socialize you effort. Just a post of your document with what you wish to accomplish in an email to
emergency@lists.oasis-open.org would be your first step. I will ask the TC on our call tomorrow what meetings we could schedule that would accommodate your attendance. I will also ask members to weigh in on your post to the list. We can ask members to address any comments to you on the list where all can be involved in the discussion. You will just need to be present on a call for the voting activities. Do you wish to proceed in this way? You can also reach me on Skype at Elysa.Jones1 Kind regards, Elysa Jones, Chair OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee Emergency Interoperability Member Section From: Kelly, Wendy [mailto:

elysajones@yahoo.com Cc: Giuliana Gal'lino; CAPAU CUSTODIAN; Hackett, Alexander Subject: FW: EMTC Meeting - Proposed Changes to CAP-AU-STD - Attachment A [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] UNCLASSIFIED Hello Elsa Thanks for the information you have provided below. Given the time difference, it is difficult for us to attend the Emergency Management Technical Committee meetings as they occur between 2.00 – 3.00am Australian time. We would appreciate it if the review of our proposed changes could go ahead without our attendance at a meeting. We would be happy to provide additional background / justification as to why these changes are recommended from an Australian perspective to assist members considerations. Additionally, t he proposed changes have been formally reviewed and approved by the Australian CAP Change Advisory Panel. If this is not possible, and our attendance is required, would it be possible to schedule the next meeting scheduled for 7 October to a more suitable time to take into account the time difference. A suitable time for us would be no later than 10:00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time). Grateful is you could please advise which option is preferable. Kind regards Wendy _____________________________________________________________ Wendy Kelly Director Emergency Management Policy Branch National Security Resilience Policy Division Attorney-General's Department 3 - 5 National Circuit Barton ACT 2600 ( : +61 2 6141 2906 * :

emergency@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: Hackett, Alexander; Kelly, Wendy Subject: RE: EMTC Meeting - Proposed Changes to CAP-AU-STD - Attachment A [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Hello Giuliana Gal’Lino, I have indeed received your email and will be happy to put this topic on the Sept 23 meeting of the EM-TC. Can I assume you will be on the call to present the work and take 5-10 min to give us a background on it? A summary of the changes and the process that has brought this work forward would be appreciated. As for the document, it is best for you to send an email to the list (copied here) with the attachment or to post to the EM-TC documents folder for the CAP Profile SC. This needs to come from you directly and not through my hands. Let me know if you need help with this and I can walk you through it.
