Subject: CAP Implementation Workshop: 23-24 April 2013

 

The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is promoted by the International 
Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Meteorological Organization 
(WMO), and others as the foundation standard for public alerting in 
societies worldwide. CAP is an OASIS standard adopted as ITU-T 
Recommendation X.1303. 

Another in the series of CAP Implementation Workshops will be held 
at the WMO in Geneva, 23-24 April 2013. Also, on the day following 
the Workshop, 25 April, WMO is offering "CAP Jump Start" training 
in the same venue, open to anyone interested.

The CAP Workshops (see links below) help CAP implementors to share 
insights and harmonize their implementations. This is important now 
that so many different sources worldwide issue CAP alert messages. 
It has been suggested that the 2013 CAP Implementation Workshop 
focus on how to expand adoption of CAP, especially through training 
and outreach efforts. 

I hope you will not only participate in this 2013 Workshop, but you 
will consider proposing a presentation. Please let me know if you 
are willing to present what you have learned in implementing CAP or 
your major implementation challenges, and what you propose as your 
presentation topic.

This is a technical workshop conducted in English; interpretation 
will not be provided. Everyone participates solely as an expert and 
all participants cover their own travel expenses. (Geneva hotels are 
expensive--Mandat International maintains a list of less expensive 
lodging options: http://www.mandint.org/en/accommodation-new .) 
 
Further details for this Workshop will be posted at:
