Re: [sia-pilot6] [emergency] EDXL-DE routing and valueListUrn

[Elysa Jones <ejones@warningsystems.com>]

I do believe we need to develop some use cases with representative 
distribution that can be published in an implementation guide.  This 
concept will take a bit to catch on and examples seem to be the best 
approach.  I would favor the start of an SC specifically focused on 
implementation.  This would give a home for new members of the TC that will 
need a bit of guidance as they learn the process. I plan to put this on the 
agenda for our meeting tomorrow.

Regards,
Elysa
