Subject: Fwd: [emergency-comment] CAP aspects of EAS standards development


Hi Folks,

First, I don't believe that this is a specific comment on the 
CAP-IPAWS Profile, though it is related. It is more of a suggestion 
for future work.

I am forwarding this message and attachments from the comments list 
because I think it deserves to be understood. I don't necessarily 
endorse it, but this is not a casual, whimsical or unqualified 
individual submission. I don't think we are the best choice to 
consider it, but it was sent respectfully and given clear thought, so 
I do think it is worth reviewing. When I first saw it, I was 
concerned that it might be an example of the odd gadfly that 
occasionally appears in our work and the work of other similar 
groups, but it doesn't appear to be that.

Cheers,
Rex

>Dear Sirs and Mesdames,
>First, there are some comments attached, largely they are about CAP aspects of
>an improved EAS standard. This proposed standard I am calling EAS+ and I
>hereby give OASIS permission to use this name and the terms "EAS+
>compatibility" and "EAS+ compliance". The copyright control may be by OASIS or
>another organization e.g. FEMA, subject to discussion and relevant legal
>restraints.
>
>A powerpoint presentation is the next attachment which gives some overview of
>EAS+ as it currently stands. This is work in progress, and OASIS is not the
>only relevant standards organization, ATSC is also and perhaps others. Also
>Dolby and Ibiquity are two relevant companies.
>
>The final attachment is a proposed implementation of CAP in EAS+. The latter
>part of the paper, as explained in the introduction, is a manufacturers group
>proposal for EAS. A goal of EAS+ is to be suitable to generate messages that
>can be used to generate valid and appropriate CAP messages. The latter CAP
>messages are not expected to be identical to the source message. The purpose
>of this is that in the event of a failure of the CAP message distribution
>network, an EAS+ message can be the source to get a CAP message through.
>Consumer electronics may take an active role in EAS+ alerting, primarily to
>provide selectivity and also to turn themselves on to give alerts at night or
>other times for example.
>
>Another goal of EAS+ is to be able to carry CAP messages or other push
>broadcast files (e.g. pdf files) to computers via ISPs, corporate or campus
>LANs, etc.
>
>I hope that this submission is in a suitable format and manner of handling, as
>although I am an individual member of OASIS, I would appreciate your
>assistance. I do have other material that can address questions that may
>arise, but at present that does not appear appropriate.
>Sincerely,
