Re: [emergency] Groups - Special EM-TC Telecon Meeting cancelled

[Elysa Jones <ejones@warningsystems.com>]

Art, I do not have any insight into where this impression could have 
originated.  It seems to me that we must make sure that we are as 
clear as possible about what we are doing so that we may maintain 
focus.  These other requests for input are a bit of a detraction but 
we need to try to stay focused on our drafted document.   We will 
take any comments during the comment period provided they are 
properly submitted per OASIS process.  We'll have to make sure that 
they reference the document we have voted into comment.  Since it 
will be a CD, we will have specific line number for each comment to 
relate.  That should help with the different documents floating 
around.  Thanks for your concern and continued support.  Regards, Elysa
