Rex and others,

Thanks so much for the diligence that you all applied to getting the EDXL
-DE to this point.  I was on travel most of this week and got behind.  It
seems the outstanding issue has to do with the difference of opinion between
David and Renato on what appears to be a substantive change to the EDXL-DE
that would require another comment period.  I would like to remind every one
that this comment period could be only 15 days rather than the
60- days.  This is something that I would like for us to vote on at the next
meeting.  Let's make sure that only technical soundness drives this, so we
can be as thorough as possible when this goes out.  We made the decision
last month that we were not going to try to rush this through but let us
certainly focus on it now and decide wether to make this change or not and
go forward.

As for the next meeting, I for one will not be able to make the meeting time
next Tues, Dec 13.  I would like to move this meeting to Dec 14 at the same
time.  Please reply back if this is a problem for you.  Also, if someone
would like to volunteer a toll free telecon line, I would appreciate it.  If
I haven't heard from anyone by a couple of hours before the meeting, I'll
get another line and post the number on the site.

Thanks again for all the work you do to promote emergency management
standards, Elysa Jones, Chair OASIS EM-TC Engineering Program Manager
Warning Systems, Inc.
