Subject: RE: [emergency] CAP-IPAWS Profile Specification Issues
Art, I am so sorry that I was unable to attend today's meeting. I am hoping that time will allow so that I can again be actively involved in EM standards development in the very near future. If you can forgive my having to observe this issue unfold from some distance, I would like clarification on exactly how a consortium of volunteers can be obligated contractually to any entity. Any insights you or anyone else can provide is appreciated. Patti Patti Iles Aymond, PhD Senior Scientist, Research & Development Innovative Emergency Management, Inc.

As we've been unable to obtain a copy of that contract, and considering that the numerous OASIS staff who were taking an active part in our meeting didn't appear to contradict that claim, I guess we have to assume that it's true. Therefore I'm forced, reluctantly, to the conclusion that this process is seriously compromised by conflicts of interest. I have asked that my name be removed from the list of editors of the IPAWS draft and I will be considering whether renewing my agency's OASIS membership would be in the best interests of the people of Contra Costa County. - Art Art Botterell, Manager Community Warning System Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff 50 Glacier Drive Martinez, California 94553 (925) 313-9603 fax (925) 646-1120 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
