“specifications for a regional or global network” – it doesn’t sound like they’re looking to develop a message standard, but rather a routing standard. I think
that would be a great thing. Yes, we need to reach out to them to see what their intentions are to make sure they know what has already be done in this area.

Yes, it is. How do we reach out to these people? They need to know that CAP is an international standard supported and endorsed by the World Meteorological
Organization and also ITU-T Recommendation 1303. We can also point them to the 10+ years of annual workshops we have had on the topics.

FYI per interest, in case anyone missed it:
W3C Public Alert Community Group
The Public Alert CG aims to establish specifications for a regional or global network that can send urgent information to any connected device. PALCG will improve upon US's WEA and intends to implement a similar system globally....This
is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2016-12-20 by Jacob Pratt. The following people supported its creation: Jacob Pratt, Jacinto Mendez, Andy Robinson, Stian Soiland-Reyes, Mohamed ZERGAOUI. W3C’s hosting of this group does not
imply endorsement of the activities.
