Subject: Update: TC Meeting Notes Re: [emergency] Groups - EDXL HAVEComments (EDXL_HAVE_IssuesList_v4.6.xls) uploaded
Hi Sukumar, Everyone, Sorry it took me so long to get back to this, but I found the Meeting Notes where HAVE and RM were reported to be on the next and future EM-Msg SC Agendas: Approved Meeting Notes 1-20-09.doc http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency/download.php/31078/Approved%20Meeting%20Notes%201-20-09.doc Item 4: Other SC reports. a.Msg/Not. Rex reports that the next SC meeting will be after the TC meeting Feb 3. The main agenda item will be to discuss HAVE and RM. The good work Tim and Camille did at the NIMS-SC identified some errors in the Standard. These do not appear to be substantive and should be able to be corrected with an erratum. This will be the focus of the next Msg/Not SC meetings. The progress of this work is recorded in the EM-MSg SC Meeting Notes EM-MSG Draft Meeting Notes 02-10-09 http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-msg/download.php/31160/EM-MSG%20Draft%20Meeting%20Notes%2002-10-09.doc We have not revisited this work since then due to the necessity of dealing with the TC's rejection of our proposed recommendation for CAP Next Gen work. That said, I have no objection to restarting the process using the spreadsheet Sukumar posted, especially if he is willing to update and maintain the spreadsheet while we go through issues. Since he has recommended dispositions, the work should go fairly quickly, though I doubt we'll get through the entire set in one meeting. Also, I would volunteer to redo the DOM using Enterprise Architect and ensuring that legibility is clear an unequivocal. Elysa, this should be on the TC agenda, along with our revised recommendation for CAP Next Gen, which I expect may also need to be revisited, though I would dearly appreciate being wrong about that. Nevertheless, as I will note in a separate post to the EM Msg SC, we will be meeting after the TC Meeting. If the TC decides that we can take this up in the EM Msg SC, we will discuss this further in that meeting.
