Friends -

Sorry for spamming the whole TC list, but I didn't want to wait to 
circulate this until the subcommittee lists come online.

David Hall has assembled the following as a point of departure for 
our effort within the Notifications SC to develop an implementation 
of some of the "core" forms used in the Incident Command System. 
What I'd like to discuss is:

1) Is this the right subset of ICS forms?

2) How should we proceed?  Might we start by assembling an "Emergency 
Management Data Dictionary"?

3) Is there an informal (i.e., quick) way to let the right folks at 
DHS know that this is our effort to support NIMS and to recruit their 
guidance and support?

Big thanks to David for getting us started on this.  And thank you all!

- Art
