Subject: RE: [emergency] Proper abbreviation for the Emergency Management TC: your verdict?
Hi Robin, We will have a meeting on Tues where I will ask the members their preference. I am in a habit of using the hyphen but do not know of a decision we have made either way. I understand the need for consistency and will get back to you on the will of the group. Cheers, Elysa From: emergency@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:emergency@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Robin Cover Summary: published resources for the TC activities and Work Products of the OASIS Emergency Management TC attest both "EM-TC" and "EM TC" as the TC abbreviation. It would be useful if the TC could agree on a canonical abbreviation and then try to use it consistently. Please let me know. Thanks! ======== Details: The latest recorded minutes for the TC's Charter proposal attest the spelling "EM-TC", and that spelling (with HYPHEN) seems to be the most common, based upon a hasty scan I made of the resources [1] The current TC Public Home Page has five occurrences for "EM-TC" and one for "EM TC". The TC Members' postings to the TC Discussion List also attest "EM-TC", with 12x occurrences of "EM-TC" in "Subject:" lines during the past four months (no occurrences of "EM TC") The specifications I scanned (five) attested "EM-TC" but not "EM TC". Thanks for your consideration on this point, as I think consistency will improve the image/branding of the Technical Committee and its published work. - Robin Cover [1] hasty scan of resources PS In today's climate, we try to insist that TC Charter proposals include an official abbreviation/acronym so that everyone within OASIS and external parties have a reference point. Ideally, when the abbreviation is embedded within the full TC name, that clarifies to all what the official abbreviation is.
