Below are a few updates on my to-do list, with regards to the NIEM Training Event. Please review and feel free to forward any questions and/or further comments. Kind regards, Jane
1.) Action Item: Cross-Reference IPAWS 2.0 List Provided by Tom F. – against the OASIS Member List
After reviewing the list provided by Tom – the following OASIS members were confirmed:
TeleCommunications Systems
Canadian Association for Public Alerting and Notification (CAPAN)
Most are listed as original status – those marked with an * indicates approved – those with ** indicate submitted for approval. I’m sure Tom F. can provide more details on what the term “original” means here.
2.) Action Item: Continue to Follow up with NIEM
Unfortunately, we still don’t have any news from the folks at NIEM.
3.) Action Item: Continue to Research Out Options Directly with the Hotel
I’m currently working with hotel staff to secure a meeting room for us on Wednesday, 24 August. The hotel does not have any space available on Tuesday. They sent along pricing for internet connectivity, food/beverage, and setup. I’m waiting to hear what type of room rental will be involved. Once I have that pricing, a proposed budget will be sent to the Emergency Member Section StC for review and consideration. Once we hear back from them -- we’ll have a really good idea of any per company cost associated with participation.
