Re: [emergency] RE: Final draft of the letter to send out for CAP requirements.

This letter will go out on behalf of the OASIS EM-TC and will need to be
done through the comment list.  Carl, please make sure that it
conforms to our policy.  Thanks, Elysa

Hi Carl,

  I'm not sure whether you're talking about sending this letter out
on behalf of OASIS or OGC. Please note that all feedback to a TC MUST
come through the feedback mechanism (i.e. comment list); any other input
would step around our IPR policy and put the work of the TC in jeopardy.
Any such letter should clearly identify the TC's feedback page, IPR
Policy page, and link to comment archives (similar to what I include in a
typical public review notification to members). 

Regards,

Mary

Dear EM TC -

 

The latest version of the letter to send.

 

We discussed the letter today during the GIS SC call. We would like
to send the letter out as soon as possible but want to make sure that we
email it to the correct organizations. So we are looking for
suggestions.

 

Thanks!

 

Carl

 

Dear < >

 

CAP has now been widely implemented. As a result, we are beginning to
receive feedback from implementation experience, especially regarding
requirements for enhanced capabilities, clarification of certain
elements, and new use cases.  

 

Therefore, in order to document a consistent set of requirements for
potential enhancement or extensions to CAP, we are seeking your input and
suggestions based on your experience implementing and using CAP. These
could be use cases, requirements for new elements, enhancement to
existing elements and so forth. This information will be collated and
then used as the basis for discussion and consensus on possible changes
and enhancements to CAP and potentially also to EDXL.

 

Thank you for your help and consideration.

 

Regards
