Hi Tim--
I was also unable to join the call today. First day of summer vacation for my kids and had to be at afternoon pickup.
But let me introduce myself - as I am new to the Committee.
I am Mark Prutsalis of the Sahana Software Foundation (SSF) - a non-profit organization that just joined OASIS last week.
We've been working on standards-based approaches to the design of Disaster Management systems for some time, and work closely with our partners at the US National Library of Medicine and their People Locator project - which is based on Sahana software. I think some of you may know Glenn Pearson, who I believe has participated in some of the TEP meetings.
SSF's interest here will be in supporting the coming EDXL-TEP and -TEC standards with our systems for tracking missing and found persons. I look forward to getting caught up on your work and participating fully in this work.
Best regards,
Mark

Tim,
I’m sorry, but I am buried under pressing issues. I won’t be able to make the call this afternoon, and I will be traveling in two weeks.
So sorry.
