Subject: RE: [dsaw-program] Draft ITU invitation letter for your review
Hi, I think I am a bit confused regarding the event website. On the call I was surprised when Xiaya mentioned that ITU-T would be building a website for the event as well. And the ITU event website is referenced in 7, 10 and top of Annex 1 in this circular. I am just wondering if this will be confusing for attendees to have two duplicates websites with similar information. I was planning to link to your URLs in 8 and 9 on the OASIS website. From the notes, I understood that ITU-T would handle registration and I was going to link to your registration page from the OASIS website as well as others (hotels, maps, etc). Just let me know what the best way to proceed. Thanks everyone!

Instead of a focus on the particular content standard (CAP), the amendment text would allude vaguely to "content standards". Also, there would be a significant change in meaning by removing the phrase "applicable to all". The amended text would imply that the focus is on alerts and notification as they are currently used in disasters and emergency situations. That is quite different from the actual point of the demonstration, which is to show how alerts and notifications could be stanadardized by using the CAP content standard. > >Another set of amendments is suggested in the fourth point of paragraph 5: > > - To prepare an action list for filling gaps and promoting public warning standardization, and identify key players that could collaborate on such work. > >The suggested amendments would result in this: > > - To prepare an action list for filling gaps and promoting public warning standardization, and identifying key players that could collaborate on in such work. > >Again, the suggested amendments would change the meaning substantially. As originally agreed, the point speaks of a pair of objectives: "prepare an action list" and "identify key players". In the suggested amendment, the task of identifying key players would not be done at the Workshop, but would instead become merely another item in the action list. I do think it is important to actually make an initial list at the Workshop of key players, taking advantage of the expertise assembled. > >I also cannot agree to the amendments in paragraph 6 (other than the addition of an e-mail address): > > The workshop will be accompanied by demonstrations of standards-based implementations of alerting protocols providing all-media, all-hazards public warning in various societies worldwide, in particular using the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) OASIS Standard. Organizations interested in demonstrating running implementations are kindly invited to contact the OASIS Secretariat (Dee Schur, Tel: 978 667 5115 x211, Fax: 978 667 5114, <mailto:dee.schur@oasis-open.org>dee.schur@oasis-open.org). > >The first of the suggested amendments would change "standards-based" to "content-standards-based".
