The stripped-down Distribtion element

["Ham, Gary A" <hamg@BATTELLE.ORG>]

To all,

If I got our meeting straight today the stripped down version of the
Distribution element would include the following currently defined
elements: 

For identification
1. messageID (1)
2. senderID (1)
3. dateTimeSent (1)

For Message content:
4. messageFormat (1 or more)

For Intended Recipient Identification
5. recipient Address (0 or more)

For message Categorization 
6. messageStatus (1)
7. messageType (1)
8. eventType (1 or more)
9. icsType (1 or more) Note: ICS command type or interest is a new
element replacing all of the other categories in a fully NIMS complient
way.

For defining a geographic area of interest 
10. targetArea  (0 or more) Note: structure to be based on an external
standard.

Does this make sense?  

Respectfully,

Gary A. Ham
