Subject: RE: [emergency-adopt-events] Emergency Interoperability Summit at the NIEM Traing Events -- Update
|
Hi Patrick, This is a good point and exactly the
reason that Jane was concerned about this venue. BUT it does seem that on day two
there are many people that are focused on EM – as we all know NEIM is a
very large group with a variety of IT concerns. We tried to set the schedule to ensure
that we would retain the EM folks for the third day because we will not have
the same level of competition for folks that are focused on EM. Jane, Please correct me if I am wrong about
the days. Can we discuss this on the call? dee From: Patrick Gannon
[mailto: Jane, Thanks for all your
work with NIEM people on this option. It appears that the
only presentations we would have with this schedule is during breaks or
meals. That does not appear to give us much of an attentive audience;
most conference attendees use the break periods for talking in the hallways or
on their cell phones. Can we have a
separate add-on day and one day of overlap? Could we start our sessions
on Tue, 29 Sep, and continue with demos on 30th? Best regards, Patrick Gannon President & COO Warning Systems,

[mailto:jane.harnad@oasis-open.org] Dear Committee
Members, As you all know,
I’ve been working over the last few days on integrating our Emergency
Interoperability Summit into the large NIEM training event in Key to our success
at this event will be our interoperability demonstrations. Donna Roy
(with DHS) expressed much interest in this aspect. In addition, NIEM
isn’t planning to hold interoperability demonstrations or exhibits at
this particular event. We would be the only ones – giving us a leg
up. Therefore, we feel that our best option will be to focus not as much
on presentations, but on the interoperability demonstrations themselves. Below and attached
is an outline of an option we would like the committee to consider.
Please review all the information and let me know if it might be possible to
hold a quick special call this week to discuss it further. Thanks in
advance, Jane Emergency
