Subject: Meeting Minutes: 2004.02.24


[Jamie]
Gave the 10 second overview of the standards process. Restates some of 
the high-level requirements that are defined in the TC Process 
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standards_approval). 
In today’s world, there are a lot more comparisons to other standards 
as well as how you accomplish specific tasks with the standard. You 
often get more comments than you might think. Have also seen instances 
where schemas didn’t parse with some popular parsers, or different 
opinions on how we should have done some things (ie: should have used 
geo elements from Standard A vs. Standard B) – they more often than not 
really get into the spec and provide comments on it.

Takes a second to ask about the status of CAP in terms of voting. One 
list item around a copyright where Jamie said he and Karl need to speak 
with Art. Art asks to speak about it in the TC meeting – decided to 
clear up with Jamie at 3pm EST.

[Carol]
Can help get sponsor members involved, because they can put in quotes 
in the press release. People like Sun, Oracle, Microsoft, etc. Jamie 
also comments its also a good recruiting opportunity. They can help 
setup interoperability demos at conferences – can help us get a ton of 
press. You let them know what conferences, and they will help 
coordinate all the logistics, press, etc. Try to do it way in advance, 
because they try to get the space donated. Compliance, tutorials, 
whitepapers, working with analyst, etc. once you get to the point of an 
OASIS Standard.

Tom asked for some details on the requirements (what OASIS needs) of 
what is needed to involved DHS and Justice to add in the push. Carol 
mentions they have some guidelines on the Web, but would love to have 
that kind of input. Carol will send out link to Media Relations Policy. 
Keep in mind EVERYTHING is coordinated with them first.

Jamie asks the group if there is any key dates that they should know 
about. Tom mentions he is referring to their own release. Rex mentions 
a conference in late March, but is probably too late.

Jamie asks if we have anything that Web Services groups, companies, 
software vendors, etc. Gary talks about what DMIS has done. Allen 
clarifies that this is a “non-official” API, in terms of the TC. We 
have not formally endorsed any kind of method of transmitting CAP 
alerts, let alone an API to perform such a transportation.

Some good comments exchanged about what has been done, and Jamie 
comments that this stuff needs to be visible enough to promote CAP – we 
need to get something on the site to help articulate what has been 
done, because nothing is there now. Provide links to NWS and California 
systems as an example.

Jamie then asks if we are jumping in too fast. Discussion around what 
was voted on when it came to the timeframe of moving CAP forward. Allen 
clarifies by saying that while we talked about being ready for the 
March 1 submission to the OASIS membership, the motion proposed to vote 
on did not include that.

Rex motions that we need vote on making the March 1 cycle – Art 
seconds. Rex comments past groups didn’t have supporting materials, but 
they have some big companies that are members, which offset that. Art 
and Rex have signed up to help – Tom said he would also try help out.

“Move for approval starting March 1st”
----------------------------------------------------
Favor: Tom, Rex, Eleanor, Kwasi, Art
Against: Gary, Walid
Abstain: Allen (felt he did not have enough info to determine if we 
were ready)
Carl, Rob no present for the vote

[SC Updates]
Just called to see if anything notable had happened worth updating the 
group on, since we were over on time, and there was nothing. Meeting 
adjourned.

[Other]
Reminder that Allen will not be present at the next call, which Rick 
will Chair. Art and Rex to lead charge to get some kind of FAQ or other 
informative set of information on the Website.
