2.  Minutes from the 12/28/04 meeting were approved as
drafted.

3.  CAP 1.1.  Handed off from the Msg SC to the full
TC.  Discussion as follows:

        David
Ellis of Sandia National Laboratories stressed how important CAP 1.1 was
to the work they are doing.  He brought up a couple of issues
1)  Recommended removing name attribute from simple types 2) correct
type in format (bold) on page 9 for sender header ID. and 3) recommend
disallowing optional elements to have null contents.  That is, if an
optional element exists, it should not have minimum occurrences = 
0.

        Bob Wyman
also mentioned an issue he has now and has had in the past with regard to
how lat/longs are specified.  This issue was addressed and put to
rest during resolution of issues from CAP 1.0.  However, Elysa
suggested that if further discussion was needed, the issue should be
brought up in the GIS SC.  Rex agreed to be sure the topic was on
the agenda for the GIS SC meeting 1/18/05.

        David
brought up some other issues needed to support the sensors efforts. 
For example, where does CBRNE fit with respect to the category
enumerations.  It was agreed for the present to code as
"environmental" since that is what is being done in EDXL. 
Tom and Rex will keep this in mind while working with the core data types
focus group.  Much of the sensor data support will come in the CAP
2.0.

        Bob
suggested that we maintain a separate document for data definitions such
as a registry to disassociate the vocabulary issues from the spec. 
This may be considered in 2.0.

        All
discussion about the changes for CAP 1.1 are invited for the list. 

4.  Charter.  Art moved to approve the charter as
drafted with corrections made 1/10/05.  Gary seconded the
motion.  The updated charter was approved by acclamation.

5.  EDXL work.  Vocabularies and transport - work
continues.  EDXL Distribution Header was discussed at some
length.  Some changes were made to the requirements spec. 
Elysa will update and re-post on the site.  It was agreed to
identify the enumerations of element values in separate lists. 
There will be specific lists for a) types of hazard and/or events b)
types of agencies c) types of response activity.  

6.  The next EIC/DHS meeting will be 1/13/05, Elysa will be present
by telecon.

7.  FOSE Interop demo - OASIS has been able to secure a booth at
FOSE for an interop (no charge).  More information to come as it is
available.

8.  Subcommittee reports - ran out of time, see the lists.

Meeting adjourned.
