[CAP Testing]
* CAP test that is being run needs the participation of E Team.  E
Team's engineer's have been focused on the CAP Demonstration for this
week and will now be able to focus resources on this testing.  E Team
will take up the task of plotting them on the map.  Show CAP message
received and link to launch map and see coordinates logged on the map

* DMI-S- sends CAP message, do validate for the standard.  Can state
validation or non-validation if the message comes through. Need review
that DMI-S can get CAP message and maintain the intent.  The outcome of
the demonstration. 

* Concern about mapping - does it preserve the intent?  Is anyone doing
it geospatially?  Need at least two different rendering.

* When finish internal test of CAP decide as group whether to submit to
OASIS.

[Transport]

committee soliciting comments to what specific items need to be
included.  Let everyone have input and then generate semi-formal
requirements document with a general format.  Should have general
polling statement done by tomorrow.

[ICS]

relationships between each other.  Don't want to lose cross forms
relationships.  Eliot has similar concern.  Should find out what's in
