As was discussed at Thursday's EM-XML ExecutiveCommittee meeting, theEM-XML Consortium has beeninvited to participate in the Global Homeland Security – Weapons of MassDestructionConference being held September 24-26 in Washington D.C. The goal for attending this conference is to show validation ofthe CAP standard and to build awareness and momentum around the efforts of the EM-XML Consortium to develop interoperability standards for the emergency management industry. We would accomplish this through a CAP interoperability demonstration by the EM-XML Consortium members who are supporting the CAP standard.

Itis recommended that we reserve a 20x20 Pavilion.The EM-XML Pavilion willinclude a table for the EM-XML Consortium to promote membership and understanding for the Consortium efforts, as well as individual tables or kiosks for eachparticipating company. Each company will be able to promote  their own solutions based on the CAP standard and show interoperabilityby passing CAP alerts between the participating companies and other devices.

The  cost of the 20x20 Pavilion is $10,000. Asdiscussed in the meeting, the easiestway to apportion this cost would bedivided equally among participatingcompanies.

Please get back to me with you rparticipation interest level, and any other suggestions on the best way to cover the $10,000 cost, by next Wednesday, August 13th.

In addition, the EM-XML Consortium Chair has been invited to participate in a workshop during the conference session to discuss the issue of interoperability.This will be a high level discussion among CIOsfrom the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Transportation,Department of Defense, Department ofHealth and Human Services and others as appropriate.
