Subject: RE: [emergency] EDXL/CAP Survey
It seems premature to be sending out use surveys for EDXL and CAP (1.1), since it is still in draft form and subject to changes. Actions like sending surveys at this point of time have a rather negative impact on our targeted user base. I strongly urge restraint until both CAP 1.1 and EDXL have been fully vetted and published by OASIS.

This week I received a COMCARE survey for information on EDXL/CAP implementations, customers, populations served, etc. I have to reply that as of this time, we have no information about that to be released. As mentioned previously, public safety is an RFP-driven business. Requirements that don't show up in at least three separate RFPs aren't likely to be implemented soon if ever. How is this group and its supporters in government working to see to it that these specifications and standards are introduced commercially to the public safety industry through procurement processes? Are there papers that explicitly illustrate where these standards fit into the product mix that an agency would be acquiring when purchasing say Dispatch, police, fire and EMT records systems? Who declares a situation that would result in an EDXL/CAP message being broadcast? Who receives it and under what jurisdiction? We've discussed some of these topics briefly in the past, but I think that before we will see these standards in more than one or two very large procurements, the procurement officials need help with the requirements language. I see mentions of GJXDM but little of EDXL/CAP. len --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
