Re: Questions regarding Cancel, Update, Ack

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Corrie,

I am forwarding this message to the Emergency Management TC for 
referral to the Adoption Subcommittee as an example question that we 
should find a way to ensure gets answered in the context of that 
subcommittee's work.

We will reply soon with a definitive answer for you.

While the Messages and Notification Subcommittee I co-chair was 
responsible for much, but not all, of the work on EDXL_DE, we need to 
develop an effective way to ensure that questions like yours are 
reported and archived as well as answered.

Thanks,
Rex Brooks
