Subject: RE: [emergency] Symbol for CAP
Matthias, Steve, Thanks for your input re Symbol for CAP. As you may know, the EM and EMA TCs have assigned the topic to the Collateral&Documents SC. Anyone interested in symbols and iconography is welcome to join us in an upcoming C&D SC call. Prior to that call however, the EMA-TC needs to clear some administrative/legal questions with OASIS. In the meantime, keep those ideas flowing.
