Subject: Revised Concept doc for ITU - OASIS Workshop/Forum on ICT Standards used in Public Warning for Disaster Reduction (PW/DR)
Simão, Attached is a revised version of the document that you sent around on Wednesday. I tried to come up with edits that incorporated Eliot's and Carol Geyer's suggestions. The biggest issue appears to be around a "Title" for the event that is agreeable with all concerned (a perennial issue with most new joint activities). Then we can make sure that the various activity descriptions are uniform in appropriate references and abbreviations. The title I propose is: Workshop[Forum] on “Advances on ICT Standards used in Public Warnings for Disaster Reduction” [organized by ITU-T and OASIS]. Rather than getting rid of the DR portion as Eliot suggested, I suggested we change the "and" to "for" to better indicate that the focus is on the PW topic, but within the context of reducing the effects of disasters. Also, if ITU-T is holding a broader "workshop" around this 2-day joint event that deals with other ITU-T specific issues, then we could use the designation of a Forum or Summit to differentiate the 2-day joint activity from an ITU-T workshop activity. To keep momentum moving forward, we suggest holding a conference call from 9:00-10:00 ET / 15:00-16:00 CET on Wed 7 June. Eliot Christian will be in Geneva next week, and together with Dr. Carol Cosgrove-Sacks could join the call with you at the ITU-T offices. OASIS can provide the conference call bridge that allows both telephone call-in as well as Skype connections: *** From Skype call : +99008275704721 To use a regular phone: From the US: call # 1-712-432-4000 (long distance costs apply).
