EM TC members and other interested persons,
Below is my first draft of a charter for the EM-TEC SC. All comments welcome.
We can further discuss at the next EM-TC meeting.

Draft: EM TEC SC Charter:
The purpose of the EM TEC subcommittee is to develop the OASIS EDXL-Tracking of Emergency Clients (EDXL-TEC) messaging standard to facilitate the tracking of evacuees and other displaced persons during emergencies, disasters, and routine day-to-day incidents, the transport of such emergency clients to shelters, and the repatriation and reunification of emergency clients with their families. The EDXL-TEC standard should be consistent with the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and all applicable EDXL standards, including the EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE), Hospital Availability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE), Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM), Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep), and Tracking of Emergency Patients (EDXL-TEP) in order to support the broad interoperability and information-sharing needs of the Emergency Response and Disaster Management practitioner communities.
