That's great Allen. Tom and I will take your comments under advisement and respond with either appropriate work products, or additions to the statement as suggested. Let he and I get coordinated now that we have some feedback and we'll try and get at least a logical dialogue going prior to the next plenary session. I'd also remind everyone that we're going to need commitments, or re-commitments, on SC membership pretty quickly, otherwise Tom and I will have no one to co-chair on behalf of.

I do have some comments, but I thought it was appropriately terse, efficient in its wording, and targeted well. That being said, like any manifesto, it is probably important to quickly follow-up with a work product that is a direct reflection of this mission. In other words, you have described an automobile, so providing a model or picture of a specific car to further illustrate a reflection of that description only helps to bring an additional dimension of clarity to your cause. I personally feel some of the other work products the IF SC has put out is that illustration, so going back and putting in some key tie-in wording in those documents and maybe updating the IFSC Website can probably bring this full circle fast. Anyway, just some thoughts. On to my comments… Strategic Operating Context: one of my main (not personal mind you) gripes about the work of the TC to date, is that while many activities in the US Gov (NIMS, ICS, Enterprise Architecture, etc.) have brought awareness to the problems we are trying to tackle, these only represent part of the applicability of our work products. The whole world of business continuity, business process management, and the overall private sector seems to be avoided. While I understand it would be ignorant to ignore the hype/noise the US Gov is making, as it elevates the important of our work, I feel it is wrong to not elude to the greater problems we are trying to solve across both public and private sectors. As such, I would propose the following be added to end of this section of the document, after the bulleted list: ---------- “Furthermore, the applicability of the Strategic Operating Context is also present outside of the immediate needs specified within the critical infrastructure components in NIMS. The private sector often faces business continuity issues that must be addressed or avoided. Their issues can send ripple effects beyond the impacted company into the very fabric of the world’s “operating” infrastructure. The disruption of a large financial organization, for instance, and touch and wreak havoc well beyond their immediate business into other organizations both in and out of the financial sector.” ---------- Tactical Requirement: same comment here as the SOC mentioned above – feel an obligation to at least acknowledge the private sector challenges. While I wish I had a specific document/set of guidelines in mind, I do not. That being said, I am certain it would take little to no effort to find some kind of “disaster resilient guidelines” that focuses on ensuring interoperability during business continuity challenges document on the Web. Is there anyone in the TC that knows of any? Gary/Len/Rex/Bob, I was thinking one of you might given your expertise. Schematic Response: I would recommend you provide some clarity around the “…previous published work by the committee…” statement. Specifically, I would recommend you call out some specific work and also specify which committee you are referring to (ie: EM TC or IFSC). Maybe something like… “…previously published work, such as but not limited to XXX, by the XXX Committee…” And that is it. Beat up, slam around, and fire back as you see fit - Allen On Apr 20, 2004, at 6:51 PM, rcarlton@consultrac.com wrote: > The document EMIFC - NEW STATEMENT OF GOALS AND CALL FOR > MEMBERSHIP.doc has been submitted by Richard Carlton > (rcarlton@consultrac.com) to the OASIS Emergency Management TC > document repository. > > Document Description: > > > Download Document: > http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency/download.php/ > 6481/EMIFC%20- > %20NEW%20STATEMENT%20OF%20GOALS%20AND%20CALL%20FOR%20MEMBERSHIP.doc > > View Document Details: > http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency/document.php? > document_id=6481 > > > PLEASE NOTE: If the above links do not work for you, your email > application > may be breaking the link into two pieces.
