SC Call 10/12 at 12 Eastern / 9 Pacific

[Art Botterell <acb@incident.com>]

Friends -

We'll be convening today (Tuesday) at the usual place 
(1-877-302-3764, code 5565345) and time (12 PM Eastern, 9 AM Pacific, 
right after the GIS call).  Per our agreement last time we'll be 
opening discussions of CAP 1.1 as a "maintenance release" for early 
next year.

I've dusted off the old issues spreadsheet, boiled it down a bit, 
revised some of the more tendentious language, and added a couple of 
items that have come to my attention, and posted it at:

<http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-msg/download.php/9632/CAP_Issues_10-11-04.xls>

We've been over most of these before, so I'm hoping we'll be able to 
dispose of the easy ones quickly, and then focus our energies on the 
ones where we can make real and immediate improvements.    In 
particular, I'm thinking that items 4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 20 and 21 
are fairly uncontroversial and/or are more of the nature of questions 
than of proposals, so I'd suggest we try to dispose of a number of 
those on tomorrow's call.

After that... and we can discuss this process, I'm just making a 
suggestion here... maybe we'd each like to volunteer to take one or 
two of the remaining items, research them, and come back to the 
Subcommittee with a suggested course of action for each one for the 
group to discuss.

We'll also want to talk about how to gather in any additional issues 
for our list... without biting off too much for this cycle.  I'd 
suggest we try to limit this round to issues that have already been 
raised by actual implementers, so we don't get drawn off into deeper 
theoretical and or WIBNI* concerns that could be better addressed in 
the CAP 2.0 cycle.

Talk with you soon!
