Here is a more current version. Same concepts apply, hopefully just a bit
better articulated.
Sorry about not being able to be on the entire call. I drove out of cell
range and it was a long time before I got signal back. Hope it was
productive.

Subject: [emergency] Common Distribution Element
The following is a snippet from Michael Deconta of DHS with respect to the
distribution element. Please comment on the list or be prepared to discuss
during the EDXL Working Group call 3/17 at 9:30 EST. The latest copy of
the draft NIEM drawing I have is also attached for reference. Elysa
