Art,
I am so sorry that I was unable to attend today's meeting. I am hoping
that time will allow so that I can again be actively involved in EM
standards development in the very near future.
If you can forgive my having to observe this issue unfold from some
distance, I would like clarification on exactly how a consortium of
volunteers can be obligated contractually to any entity.
Any insights you or anyone else can provide is appreciated.

Subject: Re: [emergency] CAP-IPAWS Profile Specification Issues
Friends -
In the course of today's Emergency Management TC meeting a DHS
representative expressed the opinion that OASIS is under a contractual
obligations to expedite the processing of the IPAWS profile over and
above the OASIS TC Process. As we've been unable to obtain a copy of
that contract, and considering that the numerous OASIS staff who were
taking an active part in our meeting didn't appear to contradict that
claim, I guess we have to assume that it's true.
Therefore I'm forced, reluctantly, to the conclusion that this process
is seriously compromised by conflicts of interest. I have asked that my
name be removed from the list of editors of the IPAWS draft and I will
be considering whether renewing my agency's OASIS membership would be in
the best interests of the people of Contra Costa County.
