I can commit to the 22nd. I just got
back from the Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley Disaster
Management Initiative's 3rd Annual Workshop. It was fairly well
attended and only by invitations focused on decision-maker class
reps, from potential community members like Kaiser Permanente,
PACOM (one of those DoD Divisions wherein SOA is all but mandated
and one that I would like to service since it is actually an
advantage to be a left coaster)... CalEMA, FEMA, Stanford Hospital
and even the Mayor of Mountain View along with more technical
types and lead developers and start up principals as well as
Mobile Emergency Operations Centers in a pretty successful
plugfest. With Cisco and Kaiser attending this event and the
California National Guard, Chevron and Verizon attending the Bay
Area Center for Regional Disaster Resilience event, I've seen
large as well as small scale business accepting the requirements
of Standards, both SOA and Emergency Management and attending this
invitation-only events.
With the economy set to turn around regardless of the election
results, it looks like contacts made now and in the near future
stand the chance of being the operational basis for a lot of
business looking forward. The key service that everyone understood
from all participants, including the crowdsourced public, was
communications and interoperability. I think that despite the long
delay, our timing may be very good.
Wish I was ten years younger.
Cheers,
Rex

Ken,
I’d
suggest we stick with the 22nd and push
on. In the run up to the end of the year, every
day counts.
There
are also a couple of other TC’s referring to RAF
terminology and one that I know which wants to
include RAF as a normative reference.
Once
the TC approves the document, we (you, as chair)
still have to request a TC membership ballot and
we have to adopt the document by a qualified
majority vote.
The
only change that we still need to incorporate,
AFAICT, is the change in Kevin’s affiliation.
If
we have all the ducks lined up, the TC meeting on
the 22nd should be
a formality (albeit an important one)
Regards,
Peter
I am finally caught up in email and
notice I've responded to several for which Peter
has already made changes.
Please consider Peter's scenario below as
the basis for this week's agenda. One change is
that November 22 is the day before Thanksgiving,
which is not usually an acceptable time to
schedule meetings of any significance. Unless we
want to commit to being a very dedicated group, I
propose calling a TC meeting the following week,
November 29.

As
agreed at this week’s RAF meeting, attached
is an updated document, containing the
proposed edits to the last Public Review
Draft.
The next
full TC meeting will have to decide:
-
whether the edits are to be considered as
“non-material changes” in which case no
further public review is required and the TC
can proceed to call for a full committee
ballot to approve the latest document as a
Committee Specification (this is now allowed
following a recent change to the OASIS TC
process);
-
whether the changes are “material”,
in which case and if these edits are
accepted, the TC will need to proceed with a
further public review before it can finalize
the work.
Please
send any comments on this new draft to the
full TC RM list
(no new issues).
Along
with the updated document, I also attach a
copy of the Issues List, updated in light of
the decisions of the RAF sub-committee
meeting this week. The TC will have to
formally accept these dispositions,
whichever path it decides to follow.
Ken will
send out further information in the coming
days regarding a date for the full TC
meeting (we discussed a provisional date of
21 November).
