RE: CAP Newsletter?

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Thanks, Janine,

Somehow your problems of last week don't surprise me. It is probably 
just synchronicity though, as there does not seem to be any reporting 
of unusual failures on the net nor any vigorous new worms or viruses.

Anyway, we were trying to be somewhat in synch with the OASIS 
announcement of CAP's approval as a standard last Wednesday, but 
that's simply last week's news at this point. I am copying Carol 
Geyer at OASIS with this, and the Emergency Management Technical 
Committee list,  with this reply, just to let them know where this 
stands. There should be no extra special hurry at this point, but we 
will use all of our personal contacts to spread the word after we 
know the newsletter is up online. The object of the ongoing publicity 
at this point is now to encourage adoption of the CAP standard, and 
keep it in front of as many audiences as we can.

The good news is that, however crippled and slow, my email seems to 
be working somewhat. Perhaps Murphy is trying again to teach me 
patience, again. Sigh.

We'll get there. I look forward to looking it over whenever you can 
get it to me.

Thanks, again,
Rex
