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. ------------------- R. Allen Wyke Chair, OASIS Emergency Management TC emergency-tc@earthlink.net
