Title: Meeting Minutes 7-06-04
Hi Folks,
Here's the minutes for last week's meeting. It's a bit of an
improvement, since this is before the EM TC meeting, even if only an
hour and half.
I had one small problem with my notes. I wrote down that we need
a more specific target with regard to Identity Issue and then I jumped
to a note that EPAD was closing in on the problems. Those two notes
are related but I don't recall the specific connection, and so I left
it out of the minutes. So if someone can refresh my memory, I will be
happy to amend the minutes to reflect that.
Here's what I have:
EM-Msg SC Meeting Minutes
7-06-04
The meeting convened at 12:00 p.m. EST.
Roll:
Art Botterell
Rex Brooks
Gary Ham
Tom Merkle
Kon Wilms
No specific agenda was posted, Largely, we discussed update reports
and topics related to either the CAP Developer List or the Next
Workproduct ideas and concepts.
Old Business:
1. Art reported that the meeting of the PPW Conference essentially
decided that, while out of funds, PPW had decided to stay in business
at least to the extent that the USA effort would continue. Everything
else was frozen, or freeze-dried in place.
2. As part of the USA process Art mentioned that there was an
initiative underway to collaborate with Murdoch University in Western
Australia in partnership with the Western Australia Emergency
Management Authority, and that was a positive development.
3. Rex noted that DHS had awarded a $175 M account Grumman Northrup
for the development and deployment of IT management and collaboration
tools. Tom and Gary then mentioned that the existing DHS system, such
as it is, uses Groove Networks tools, http://www.groove.net/home
4. Gary noted that DMIS appears to be in good shape moving forward in
the sense of being funded for the foreseeable future. Gary also
reviewed the Disaster Management upper management cross-agency meeting
reported in the last minutes, since Art was attending the PPW
Conference during our previous meeting. (See previous meeting
minutes)
5. Tom said that he expected the revived Infrastructure Subcommittee
to be stood up after the next TC meeting.
6. The main topic from the Disaster Management meeting that Gary
reviewed became the focus for discussion. In short, DHS and the EM
community overall needs a single standard, similar to CAP that cuts
across transport and media protocols for a message header or wrapper
TYPE component that identifies a valid and prioritized EM message--a
heads-up notice.
6a. This led to a discussion centered
around what is needed to establish identity and authenticate and
authorize an entity for inclusion in the trusted network needed. This
in turn, led to questions of whether an ICS-type of system to
recognize an authorized command and control chain versus some more
open kind of entry point is needed and whether or not this ought to be
standardized for a global applicability or if it needs to stay within
a NIMS environment.
6b. This discussion prompted Gary to note that
the Disaster Management meeting was more data-centered than
process-centered. This raised the observation that they are in a
requirements gathering phase after which they have considered or are
considering forwarding that issue to our TC.
7. A question was raised as to whether this should be addressed in the
Infrastructure or Messaging Subcommittees or at the TC level. We
decided to put this before the TC for a decision.
7. Art noted that this question has many similarities to CAP so it
would be useful to draw up a list of deltas from what CAP addresses,
as a starting point.
9. We asked Gary to synopsize the question and our thoughts about it
for the TC with the overall endpoint to be that asking for specific
instruction with regard to the Identity question from Disaster
Management upper management as our contribution to their
requirements-gathering process. The notion is that we will then deal
with what comes back from that process.
There was no specific New Business since our discussions ran
long.
The meeting adjourned at
12:40 p.m. EST.
