OASIS Emergency Management TC

  • 1.  Note to ITU

    Posted 05-28-2009 09:28
    Dear Eliot,
    
    Thank you for your continued tireless work to improve alert and 
    warning in our world.
    
    The OASIS EM-TC would like very much to participate in the workshop 
    at WMO in June.  However, at this time, no members have identified 
    the ability to attend without funding for travel.  Since this topic 
    has not been fleshed out within the TC (aside from the current 
    identifier method specified in the Standard), we feel it is important 
    for TC members to be able to participate in the workshop.  Would it 
    be possible for TC members or others to participate remotely?
    
    We will continue to seek funding for sending a representative as a 
    minimum but no representative will have authority to act on behalf of 
    the TC without TC consensus.
    
    We will begin a series of special meetings of the TC 5/28 to discuss 
    this topic in an effort to develop a recommendation.  Would it be 
    possible to get any documented notes that would identify the 
    method(s) the ITU-SG is considering and arguments for/against.  This 
    may help speed our efforts.
    
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    
    Kind regards,
    
    Elysa Jones, Chair
