RE: [emergency] EDXL-DE Committee Draft

[Elysa Jones <ejones@warningsystems.com>]

Ron,

Welcome to the EM-TC.  We are glad to have you aboard.  I am hopeful you 
are finding your way around the site.  As you will see we have three 
subcommittees, GIS, Infrastructure and Msg/Notification.  The GIS 
sub-committee has been chaired for quite some time by Dr. Carl Reed of OGC 
and he is a voting member of this TC.  He has provided insight through the 
CAP 1.0, CAP 1.1 and EDXL-DE processes.  We understand that all things are 
not perfect in our geo-spatial representations and they are not consistent 
between the specs at this time.  We plan to have CAP harmonized with EDXL 
at CAP 2.0.  It is a current task of the GIS SC to make recommendations to 
the TC to that end.  I look forward to your efforts in support of the EM-TC.

Regards,
Elysa Jones, Chair
