[emergency] EM-XML TC Meeting Minutes

Following are the minutes from the first EM-XML Technical Commitee Meeting held Tuesday, February, 11th at 10:00 am PST/1:00 pm EST.  Many thanks to Michael C. Wilson for transposing the minutes.

 

Allen Wyke - Welcome and introduction - went over the effort to get the group started and described the role relative to the EM-XML Consortium

 

Karl Best - Review of OASIS process.  More can be read about this in the following documents:

http://oasis-open.org/committees.guidelines/shtml

Elliot Christian - QUESTION: Can anyone listen, even if they are not members?

Karl - No, they can read the minutes and use the public comment list.  Meeting are only for members and observers.  Note that this is at an individual level, not a company level, so new members need to wait for official membership even if there is already someone else in their company that is an OASIS member.  Anyone interested in the EM-XML TC needs to notify the chair - Allen Wyke - as part of the official process of membership to the TC.

Allen - Reviewed charter (is available at http://oasis-open.org) and there were no suggested changes.  Other standards that the group needs to look at include:
  
e-Government TC at OASIS   
Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) Initiative by the   ComCARE Alliance   
Common Alert Protocol (CAP)   
Critical Infratstructure Protection Intiative (CIPI)   
IEEE Incident Management Working Group (IMWG)   
IETF Incident Object Description and Exchange Format   (IODEF)   
IETF Intrusion Detection Exchange Format (IDMEF)   
OpenSec Advisory and Notification Markup Language   (ANML)  
Open GIS Consortium (OGC)  
LegalXML Lawful Intercept XML (LI-XML)  
LISA Language Localization XML

Michael Wilson - QUESTION: How many subcommitees do we envision?

Allen - Our evaluation of what is out there, the relative priorities, submitted work, etc. will determine how many we start out with.  To avoid spreading ourselves too thin, keeping it small for now would be best.

John Aerts - Talked about the standards that he is aware of.  He was asked to pull together that information in an email and send it out to the group.  

Talk about incident reporting and that it is for law enforcement.  Some questions (Gary Ham) about whether or not fire is included as part of this - not sure.

If calls are to be recorded, it must be announced prior to the start of the meeting.

Action Items:
  
John Aerts - send email   to group about standards he is familiar with   
Elliot Christian - send   email to group about ASN1   
Allen Wyke - send email   to group about XML standards   
TC Members - read the charter
