Subject: [humanmarkup] FW: [humanorg] Diplomatic Communications: Take 1
Dear Ranjeeth and everyone,
Anticipating Ranjeeth's important trip to DC, I have prepared a few observations and links that will aid in Diplomatic Communications research:
Observations and Comments about the DipCon Paper as it stands
a) "Imprecise reporting techniques"
-since a lot of my research has been working the on Intelligence issues, I have found that the issue of report writing, dissemination, and comment writing were a cause of great concern and internet
-I will provide a synopsis of an article from an Intelligence journal on this issue
b) Example of the Chinese downing of US Aircraft
-when RKT told me that this would be the primary historical example for our paper I was reticent, and mused that perhaps a more distant historical event would be preferable
-I have found a great editorial from the folks at RAND http://www.rand.org/hot/op-eds/041501SDUT.html
-the author provides 5 lessons learned, and RKT can use these in an HM context
c) issues of "formalized explicit expression
-this ties in with the reporting techniques
-we need to drive home the benefits of HM efficiencies technology-wise
D) State Department Mission Information
-FYI: (quote from State site)
To carry out U.S. foreign policy, the Department of State:
Leads interagency coordination and manages the allocation of resources in conducting foreign relations;
Represents the United States overseas and conveys U.S. policies to foreign governments and international organizations through U.S. embassies and consulates in foreign countries and diplomatic missions;
Coordinates and supports international activities of other U.S. agencies, hosts official visits, and performs other diplomatic missions; and
Conducts negotiations and concludes agreements and treaties on issues ranging from trade to nuclear weapons.
*****
Ok this sums up my take on RKT's DipCon, I will post another stab with info from my research soon.
Ranjeeth: Anything septic regarding the DipCon doc that you would like to me look into?
Cordially,
Joe
